Eating More "Adult" Foods

Ashley ate three new adult foods today. First, she ate Honey Nut Cheerios and according to Bryan, really liked them. Surprise, surprise. She will eat just about anything. The second new food she ate today was macaroni and cheese. She really seemed to enjoy it and kept opening her mouth wide for Bryan to shovel more in there. Then, a little later in the day, we tried a small amount of peanut butter. Since no one on either side of the family has a peanut allergy, we let her try some. Ashley opened her mouth wide, sucked the peanut butter off the adult spoon and proceeded to swallow what was in her mouth, then open her mouth for more. She liked the PB so much, that I put another spoonful on a plate for her. We were not surprised she liked the PB because her Daddy absolutely loves the stuff. In fact, he takes at least one PB sandwich to work in his lunch every day.

Then, at dinner tonight, Ashley ate quite a bit of chicken from our quesadillas. I think there will come a time, in the not so distant future, when Ashley will be off baby food completely. She only has two front teeth, but she does a great job of gumming and chewing her food. It's hard to believe our baby is growing up.
