food exploration

Since turning the "magical" age of 1 and sprouting 12 teeth, eating has become quite the experience in "discovery".

Some things she likes... (being able to bite into a whole apple/grape/banana, crunching pretzel sticks, Mom's pasta, etc.)


...and some things she doesn't! (like when I decide olives are good for you and she should try them; strawberry flavoring is great, but not actual strawberries; anything "mushy")






And feeding herself is definitely the best new thing in Maria-world! (Although it's still few and far between that I let her have total freedom!) It's also very important to make sure all body parts are well fed... ;)


Legs get hungry too!
