An addition to Show Us Your Life from Kelly's Korner:
Chili beans and cornbread on a cold winter's day. Yummy!
Jackson is now 19 1/2 months old, and is becomes more picky each day! I'll say he was at a bit of a disadvantage on eating solid foods because he didn't have ANY teeth until he turned 11 months old, and now he still only has 12. (The doctors said "It's okay to feed food items that aren't soft to chew, his gums are strong enough.") But being the first time mom and Miss paranoid and cautious about EVERYTHING, I delayed a bit. That said. We do try just about anything. And we try things over and over again. I once read something that instructed to try the same food item at least 15 times before allowing the child to "like" or dislike" a food. here are some examples of what Mr. Jackson has often:
Breakfast: Bananas, oatmeal, a fruit grain bar, grapes, pancakes, french toast, and yes I know...the bad breakfast meats such as sausage and bacon he absolutely loves.
Snack: Goldfish, grapes, iced oatmeal cookies, graham crackers, lil' crunchies, slow melt ice pops (for when the weather is right), or even fruit snacks (only one thing at a time)
Lunch: Chicken nuggets, grilled chicken, cut up hot dog, ham, applesauce, french fries, apple slices, mashed potatoes, attempts at peas/carrots/green beans are still made (simple, easy to fix items for lunch)
Supper: A taste of whatever Mommy and Daddy has whether it be some type of soup we have, meatloaf, cube steak, roast, ham, chicken, (which I don't think Jackson has ever had enough of)rice, potatoes...
Items that we still try but Jackson hasn't gave into yet: Eggs, bread (bagels, toast, biscuits...none), most veggies (green beans, peas, carrots, cabbage, most any type of bean; except chili beans, corn, any type of sauces IE: ketchup, BBQ, ranch, mustard, and lots more I just can't seem to think of there are SO many!
Items he can never have enough of: CHOCOLATE, chicken, and anything to drink as long as it's not plain water( I have to flavor his water with some form of juice so it's not "plain")
Loves to drink: soy milk, juices (apple, grape, pear, peach, blueberry, strawberry, mixed berries, the veggie juices by Apple and Eve) and sweet tea (I KNOW!) (Ha ha!)
I don't feel so bad after reading some of the other posts. Just part of raising a toddler I guess. "Just keep swimming, swimming...." Gotta love my messy face little boy!
Hi there, I'm stopping by from Kelly's Korner. Love the pic of Jackson. I have a Jackson, myself :).
ReplyDeleteHi. Found you on Kelly's blog. Welcome to blog-land. :) I started mine last May. Have to say it can be quite addicting and that some days or weeks, you'll have lots to share and then all of a sudden you'll go into a "funk". :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy posting. Do it for you and only you. You or I may never be as well known as others (that's okay with me), but it is a fun way to share. For me it's a definite form of self-expression. :)
Have fun with it!...and your little guy is a cutie. I have three...time flies, though! My days with them are still like whirlwinds!

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the e-mail :). I'm a new follower. Super cute background, too. I love Jack Rabbit, too. Very original! I don't personally know Kelly from Kelly's Korner but I have been following her blog for a couple of years now and I love reading about her sweet little family. I'll definitely have to check out Houghton's Happenings. Thanks for mentioning it. Can't wait to keep up with you and your lovely family. Thanks for stopping by my little blog :)!
