As you may have been able to tell from her stellar stats at her 9 month well visit, Piper's a good eater! And it's just adorable to watch her shoveling food into her mouth. She's pretty good at using her pinchers (pointer and thumb) to pick up pieces of food, but every once in a while she just grabs a handful of something and puts her whole fist into her mouth. She tends to do with shredded cheese and broccoli :)
Her favorites so far are ham, shredded cheese, toast and avocado. She'll eat peas if they're very mushy, but she's not wowed by them. She's getting used to egg. She likes whole wheat pancakes well enough (in her defense, when I made them for her I added pured squash and corn to hers so they didn't taste as good as mine). And she's a huge fan of the fruit smoothie that daddy makes. On Sunday we were making smoothies for ourselves and so we poured ours out of the blender and then added pured green beans to Piper's helping. She was decidedly less enthusiastic about that smoothie than she has been about previous, non-veggie-infused smoothies. But... it's hard to find veggies soft enough for her to eat, and she is the daughter of a health fanatic so I have to be creative.
It's really fun to see her try new things. She always looks really proud when she's feeding herself, which is super cute. And super messy. But worth the cleanup.
