New Year's Resolution

Emily decided with the new year that she was doing away with baby food and moving on to better choices! It is amazing to me how it just happened so all of a sudden. Up until this week I would feed her baby food and then some diced carrots, green beans, or diced fruit just to let her practice eating table food. If I try to give her baby food she just turns her head and she won't even eat her oatmeal anymore. If she can't pick it up with her fingers she doesn't want it. I had to email some friends for some finger food ideas and looked up some ideas on the internet as well and we headed to the grocery store! So this week she has eaten diced up chicken, sweet potatoes, gerber breakfast bar, pasta, gerber chicken sticks, english peas, carrots, green beans, banana, cut up cheese, cut up toast, diced apples, pears, peaches, and cheerios. I thought she was going to explode the other night. It's just so funny how fast it happened. She also tried whole milk for the first time yesterday out of her sippy cup. My big girl! I also bought deli turkey, ravioli, mac n cheese, gerber crackers, pinto beans, zucchini, and cauliflower that I'm going to try later.

Here's a picture of her plate tonight and she ate every bit of it plus a whole jar of diced peaches:

Here's a short video of her eating . . . and she eats so fast . . . it cracks me up:
