My 7.5 mth old is showing MAJOR interest in food now.

I've just noticed that Brooke is showing major interest in EVERY little thing we eat .. even 15 mins after her bottle if she see's me eating she crawls up my leg and whines for some :)

In 1 week she has advanced from puree apples to bits of bread with grated cheese on it! She just opens her mouth and I pop it in and she has a chew and swallows it .. and the mouth opens again :rolleyes: she is getting quite good at swallowing .. I mean I'm pulling 5cm pieces of bread off with grated cheese all over it with cheese ends hanging off the sides and into her mouth.


The other night I was eating a Healthy Choice pizza and do you think I could eat it in peace! UMM NOPE .. she had pineapple and ham and mushrooms .. I was amazed!

I'm just amazed that it happens so fast .. time is flying. just had to share.

My little piggy is the same (she's only 2 days older than yours!)...she wants to eat EVERYTHING (including non-food things...like peeling fluff off of the carpet...ew!).

I've started her on tins of jars of toddler meals (1-3 year olds)...because she just laps up foods in her age-range so quickly...and it was suggested in a book I was reading (What to Expect in the First Year). She seems to be loving it...as am I because I'm certain she must be getting bored with the lack of variety in her age-range. (She ONLY eats commercial meals...she doesn't like what I cook...unless it comes straight from my plate!)

I cooked her up broccoli, pumpkin and pototo ( fork mashed it ) with some butter and a dash of salt and put a big chunk of it on the side of my plate last night .. so I got to eat my apricot chicken and rice .. and she sat there eating big finger fulls of her vegies :D TRICKED HER .. for a wee while .. she then ended up having some rice and chicken .. I pulled the white meat of my drumstick without the spicy sauce and she loved it .. mind you, SHE won't sit still on the floor .. she plays all around my legs and whens she wants more she will climb up me with her mouth open.

time does goooo so fast.

Isn't it amazing how they just now how to chew! All of a sudden they just do It!! Just be wary of adding salt to bubs food, their little kidneys are not ready to process too much salt. Maybe try some grated cheese in her vegies if you think they need flavour:)

Bec is the same - I was eating rice the other day for lunch and she put on such a performance that I thought I'd give her a try - well she ate 1/2 of my lunch (1/2 a blooming big plate size too might I add) - little piggy wiggy!
