I had the following list of foods on my fridge for the past few months. I need to throw it out. Or, maybe, I should put it in A's baby book? Regardless, I don't need it on the fridge anymore but I thought I would share it with you guys. It is a list of foods that my youngest was introduced to her first 12 months. I think everything on the list are things she ate on a fairly regular basis. Reading it over now, it is interesting to see what foods have fallen off the list (some because I've gotten lazier with my cooking and introduction of new foods and some because she is finally starting to get a bit pickier). Anyway, remember when introducing new foods, it takes NUMEROUS introductions. Remember the first time you tried beer, or wine? It's an acquired taste. Most of us probably worked pretty darn hard to learn to enjoy a cocktail...we should work equally as hard to get our kids to enjoy healthy, non-processed foods, too. Just because they throw it on the floor the first 8 times you offer it to them does not mean you should give up.
