Picky Eater

The most challenging part of parenting right now is Kaitlyn's picky eating habits. I find it very stressful to figure out what to make for lunch and dinner. I am trying very hard not to cater to her wants, but want to make sure she is eating something. She loves breakfast foods with the exception of eggs. Lunch and dinner are a different story. She won't eat any vegetables. Sometimes she will eat broccoli. Green beans, peas, and carrots are a no go. I have tried hiding it in other things, but she always finds a way to get them out of her mouth before eating.

Last night her dinner consisted of her favorite foods: Bread and butter, fruit, cottage cheese, and yogurt. Dessert - of course Graham crackers. She knows where we have them in the cupboard so she will stand in the kitchen pointing at the cupboard and will grunt until she gets one. She also loves Cheerios.

Kaitlyn loves to each Cottage Cheese with her hands. She also loves to touch her hair. Here is what happens if you mention "Hair" while eating.

After work I decided to buy some baby food again. This time I bought sweet potato and squash. So, we gave her sweet potato baby food last night and she ate the whole jar. Maybe she isn't a fan of whole veggies. My action plan right now is to just give her baby food vegetables with her whole veggies. I hope this works. It bothers me that she isn't eating veggies.

Here are some pictures of Kaitlyn a few nights ago. She loves to sit in her car and play.

She also loves having her picture taken. When you hold a camera most of the time she will smile and say "Cheese".
