Baby Food

It turns out Delphinium enjoys food. A LOT. There are really very few foods she's ever come across that do not tempt her. It started out with milk, but now we have gone so far beyond. First came those purees and cereal goos that so many babies get to try, and she was a fan of those from the beginning. Then we moved on to combination foods like applesauce with carrots or peas with pears. Oh the face she used to make when she got pears. First delight, then confusion, and finally puzzled acceptance. It seems pears taste good, have a weird texture, but, ultimately, are entirely worthwhile.

Now we are on to real solids. As in chunks of food we can eat with our fat little fists. Baby cereal puffs were first because they melt so nicely in a tiny mouth. However, that only lasted a very short time before we moved on to the classic Cheerios. Okay, so they're not really Cheerios having been purchased at Trader Joes, but we still call them by the famous name. So sue us. Next came steamed veggies such as carrots and zucchini. She really enjoys those, but not quite so much as the ever-fabulous cheese. Cheese actually makes this baby crow with excitement. Then there are blueberries, asparagus, bread, bagels, rice cakes, almond butter, eggs, etc, etc, etc. You get the idea. It's great fun thinking up meals for a person as appreciative of food as Delphinium. May the picky phase please be short and light.
