The Enthusiastic Foodie

I must spend at least 50% of my time consumed with what Sailor is eating... I am either preparing it,  watching her eat it, cleaning it up, or thinking up new things for her to try.  Taking the leap from traditional baby food to "real" food has been quite an adventure.  Armed with a good grocery list, a willing attitude, and a strong vacuum, Sailor and I are having fun navigating our way through eating-year-one.

I was keeping a list of all the foods she tried and liked but it was simply one long list!  She hasn't sampled anything she didn't like and the list got so long it would have been easier to keep track of what she hadn't tried.  With things like smoked salmon, skirt steak, quinoa, broccoli rabe, pulled pork, sushi, grilled cheese, so on and so on, Sailor has a nice repertoire going.  Here are a few of her current favorites...

The first bite... banana

If I could open my mouth any wider I would

Love my broccoli

Sushi (brown rice)... shocked, then loved

Avocado... a mess worth making

Not sure what this was but I'll take some more

Master of my sippy cup

Mommy puffs are for babies!

Corn on the cob... keeps my busy for a long time

Do I have a little hummus on my face?

Aint no thing but a chicken wing
