Three P's in a Pod: March 2009

Matthew has pretty much stopped eating all of his baby food that comes in jars. I have been feeding him food from my plate for a while now, so I guess now he wants that and only that. I discovered during Spring Break at lunch one day that he was done with his baby food, but didn't really think it was true until Monday night at supper. Last night, I had some ravioli leftover. There wasn't much there, but I thought it would be enough for the both of us since he was still going to eat his lasagna with meat sauce from the baby food jar. So I thought. I couldn't even trick him like I normally do by acting like I was scooping the food off of my plate. He's just too smart! So he finished off the ravioli and was still hungry. I had some spaghetti o's in the pantry that he finished for supper. He probably could have eaten all of those if I would have let him. This boy can eat! I think that he is going to be a good eater and hopefully not too picky! ;) We have also been trying to slowing stop the bottle. :( It is a pretty hard transition, but he is doing a good job. He still gets a bedtime bottle. It is just so soothing to him, and me! (I am having a pretty hard time with his 1st birthday being TOMORROW!!!)

I also must point out that I normally don't let him get messy during supper because I am just too tired to clean up, but here lately, I haven't cared. He is going to get messy and he will get cleaned up right after supper and once he goes to bed, I can clean up his mess. I just have to start letting go of some worry issues. Things do get messy...

These pictures are put on here backwards, but you get the idea. I still can't figure out this whole picture upload thing. I am so technology challenged!

All done, YAY!!!
