What Breanna loves best: Breast milk.

What Breanna dislikes: Mashed banana, rice cereal, sweet potato.

What Breanna will ingest if I don’t stop her: Bath water, sand at the park.

What Breanna finally settled on eating: Mashed potatoes, squash.

Hoo.ray.

Like I said in my previous post, I really wasn’t concerned. I know that at this point the bulk of her nutrition comes from the milk she drinks and that food is just for fun and experimentation. Mostly I just wanted to find something that she liked because it is infinitely easier for everyone to eat supper together if Breanna is sitting in her high chair and eating too. I wasn’t sure if the squash would go over well but she was all smiles, opening her mouth wide, and occasionally grabbing the spoon out of my hand to feed herself. She also ate a few small bites of mashed potato while we were having supper at George’s parents’ house last night and that went down fairly well. I’m looking forward to trying the squash again tomorrow to see if it was a fluke or not.

It will make dinner time more pleasant and more of a family event if we all sit down together. Even if it does mean washing squash out of her hair and ears at bath time.
