Food #1

She's been eating solids since the summer - about 5 or 6 months. Initially, of course, it was all mush and small bits of soft food. But once Hadley hit the stage where she could chew and digest larger and crunchier chunks, she also hit the stage of being picky.

Meals now look kinda like this:
1. Hadley shows us the sign for "more" in sign language (we've begun to realise that "more" signifies way more than food to her - sometimes it just means "I'm bored")
2. We'll place her in the high chair and offer something like a banana. After a bite, she'll push it away, toss it on the floor, make a face, etc.
3. Then we offer something else like a cracker, to the same effect.
4. She starts squirming and wants out of the high chair, only to make the "more" sign 10 minutes later.

I'm told this is pretty normal.
Luckily, we've stumbled upon a couple things that she'll almost never say no to:
- noodles with sesame oil and/or Bragg's
- spaghetti and cheese in carrot & tomato sauce

Just the other day we found out she likes bean sprouts, too.
