Abigail is 7 months old and we really can't wait to be able to give her real food. Not to say her applesauce, pearsauce, carrotsauce, squashsauce, bananasauce and spinachsauce aren't real, but you need to see it: If you're holding her and attempt to eat something, say a forkful of pasta or a spoon of ice cream, Abby's mouth opens up and she launches her entire body in the direction of the food. She's a shark propelling herself at some helpless prey. And if it's possible for a 7 month old to look offended, man, she looks it when that bite lands in your mouth and not hers.
She gets little bits of whole bananas and sweet potatoes and pasta and bread when we're eating them, and absolutely loves it. Imagine getting to taste everything for the first time! It would be great to have those memories of what you were thinking the first time you bit into a slice of watermelon or a crispy piece of roast chicken skin.
We were very lucky with Molly...once she started eating off our plates, we let her try just about everything and she kept asking for more. For the most part she still does. I think when she rejects certain things now, it's more out of her four (she'd say four and a half) year old sense of purpose and not really an aversion to what's on the table. She's also become something of an unintentional wise-ass as she screams "LOOKS GROSS!" when you first put her plate down and then proceeds to polish it off. She requests things like "goats cheese" and "the peach beer" (uh...she might have accidentally had a sip of a Belgian lambic at some point). We can only hope Abby is the same, so the two of them can sit at the table together, belching, laughing and fighting for the last scoop of hummus.
On the other side of the world our adorable almost-year-old niece Anya is learning to eat in a totally different environment. We haven't met her yet, as she was spirited off to Beijing with her parents, but apparently she won't eat her vegetables unless they are stir fried with soy sauce.
She's going to be an awesome dinner companion in a couple years.
Overall, some common sense prevails - if you keep feeding kids PB&J, plain chicken breasts and American cheese (does that stuff ever grow mold?) because you think that's all that they'll like...guess what happens? Don't get me wrong, we're not claiming to be experts on nutrition for picky toddlers, but I've seen both sides and the effects are pretty obvious. If you're enjoying your food, they are going to enjoy your food also.
