New Taste Sensation

I remember when I was so excited to feed Hailey solid foods, so excited that she could eat on her own. Ha…what was I thinking???? Meal times are becoming a struggle between what I am serving and what Hailey wants, which is almost always one of three foods – grapes, yogurt, and quesadillas. Since when does she know what she wants to eat?

She’s also enthralled with anything that is a dip – mustard, ketchup, salad dressing. This morning I was making sandwiches while Hailey ate her oatmeal. Not a minute later, she was demanding mustard on her oatmeal. So, she had mustard oatmeal for breakfast. Sure, I could have not given her the mustard, but what fun would that be?

Good to know she's "branching out." Soon she'll be ready for crab legs...just like mom.

Love,
Dad

Um-m-m, did she actually eat the mustard on her oatmeal? Blech!!! Geeze...Early Childhood development of individual self-hood vs. instinctual recognition of foul flavors is a weird thing indeed!
