when cody and i were first married, i learned very quickly how much he could eat. having grown up with three brothers, i knew they ate a lot, i just never had to be the one buying the food for them! (props to my mom for always keeping the pantry well stocked.) it took me quite a while to learn how to keep our pantry well stocked for my garbage disposal of a husband. and on a budget it was even more difficult...but i have learned quite a bit over the past two and a half years.
so when i started feeding mae solids, i figured okay maybe a little thing of applesauce mixed with a little oatmeal for breakfast, and veggies for dinner. babies don't need that much to fill their little tummies right? boy was i wrong. she would finish the little portions i had made ahead of time, and me being the dummy, figured she was done. so i would clean her up and get her out. trying to make the process of feeding time as quick and painless as possible. and she would just cry. so one day after i gave her her oatmeal mixed with a little apples, she started to cry, i got smart and tried feeding her some more...girlfriend pounded down the whole other serving. i realized i was cutting her off too early. i would probably cry too if someone tried to stop me when i was just getting into my meal!
she hasn't met a food yet that she hasn't enjoyed. and sometimes she enjoys them so much, she eats her bib to make sure she has gotten every last drop!
