Self Feeding

It was about 23 months ago when G decided she no longer wanted baby food but wanted solid food instead (who can blame her). Well, guess who is following in her Big Sis's footsteps, and at the same age? This has been going on for a couple of weeks now. At first I thought teething and now she has a slightly infected right ear. So of course these things are adding to her far and few between episodes of crankiness, except when it comes to eating time. Last night our dinner wasn't quite ready yet so I decided to go ahead and feed M. She ate great for the first 10 bites or so. Then, I got G and I our plates. At that point M fussed when I tried to feed her and the only thing she would eat was her puffs. As soon as G and I finished eating and our plates were off the table she finished her baby food. Tonight I decided to try her with the vegetables we were eating and she loved most them. M ate carrots, avocado, and asparagus - along with some puffs. The asparagus was not her favorite. Hopefully she will grow to love it like the rest of our family. Then she ate a few bites of her baby food fruit. I think we may have another strong-willed child on our hands!
