Anyone?


really, my title should be instagram pics...
don't know what instagram is? if you have an iphone, i suggest you download the app.
what did i ever do without a picture phone?
every one of these pictures were taken on my phone.

here's my question...
my child is 18 months old...
she only eats baby food...
ok, yes, she will snack on anything that you give her...
cookies, crackers, yogurt, cake..you know..ALL the good stuff.
But, if i place "real" healthy food in front of her...she wants nothing to do with it
i'm not panicking...she will try anything i place in front of her...and CLEARLY my child isn't starving herself, but what are some tricks that you moms have done?

on another note...
we've been trying to take away the bottle...
it's hard when she sees emerson taking one...
and my child is so stubborn, she just won't drink ANYTHING all day long, except for when i give her, her nighttime bottle.
i can't take that away just yet.
whew...my child has a STRONG personality..wonder where she got that from?

see..here she is eating an oreo just fine.
she actually ate a really good dinner, so i rewarded her.

and this little love bug...
we were supposed to go to dallas for the week to see my sister and her babies, and my mom and other sister...
but, this little girl has had some major issues spitting up...we now have her on two meds, and thicker formula...
it worked well for about a week, but now we are back to where we started.
don't really think it is doing the trick, we are testing her to see if she is allergic to the formula...so we decided to stay closer to home
do miss my family, though.
but..this smile..it makes it better.

and potty training is in full force at our house.
E and I go and water the plants every day...
so instead of putting on a diaper,
i decided to let her put on big girl cinderella panties...


here's the stinker with her bottle..
but, she is helping out her little sis..
play time.


we took a dip in the pool on sunday with daddy and E...
after we got tired, Em and i just played under the umbrella

and she is working on sitting up....
she is really great and holding her head up

oh...and like i said..we are doing the completely bare down there, method.
little girl, with a little hiney
she's doing pretty great though...
yesterday we were tied...
3 successes
&
3 accidents
loves to walk around with her shoes on....

so sweet to her sister

don't you want to download instagram?

emerson loves her bla-bla doll, plum.

.sweet girl.

Eloise and Krishani are so much alike! We just got rid of the bottle about a month ago.. We had to try alot of sippy cups and she ended up liking the NUK brand, and once we knew she could drink out of them, we got rid of her bottles.. I'm with you on the food question.. K will eat table food for breakfast but for lunch and dinner she would rather not try to many different things..Hope you guys have a great week!

The food issue is a TRICKY one! Margo has decided the only veggie she will eat is broccoli and it has to be covered in cheese sauce! I buy the single servings in the frozen sections and she seems to like those the best. Good luck and E's little hiney is so cute! I'll have to read up on the bare method when we get there...

Mere - you have encouraged me that every child is unique and different. I have tried hummus, black bean dip and guacamole to give him healthy options with different textures. It may be a texture issue, so get creative on how you serve the food. If you have to mash it at firts - that is fine. And, so proud of you for potty training already! Wow, we won't be there for a while!!!
