Cheerios

Taylor is getting to be such a good eater. I was just telling Kaleb how funny it is that there is such a difference in how we parent Taylor versus how we parented Nevaeh at this age. What came up most recently is how well Taylor is able to pick things up and eat them - one of her favorites being Cheerios, as you can probably tell...

Just today we had a picnic at the park with MaMa and Taylor was picking up turkey, cheese, and Gerber Puffs like a pro. When Nevaeh was this age we kept her strictly on Puffs and her formula and baby food, and made sure to feed it all to her ourselves. This is still apparent now when she asks Pop Pop "Will you feed me?" when we go over to their house for a meal. No, this isn't just becaue Pop Pop is a sucker; she requests her Mommy and Daddy's assistance too. Last night we had beans and cornbread and we both fed some to Nevaeh, while Taylor sat, quite content, in her high chair and shovelled the food in herself. Maybe splitting time between the two of them has cured a little bit of our over-attentiveness to our babies. Now we just have to get Nevaeh out of the habit...
