Eating issues

Jacob eats now. And for that I am very, very grateful.

But this is not how you eat a peanut butter spoon.

He's extremely picky, and there's no consistency to the foods he likes. Some days, chicken nuggets are the best thing ever. A day later, he won't go near them. He hates cheese. But he'll often eat macaroni and cheese (boxed only, not the homemade stuff).


He has a major sweet tooth, so if he goes a few meals without eating much of anything, we can usually get some calories in him in the form of some sugar cookies or egg nog. The only thing we can always count on him devouring is Mediterannean cuisine. Unfortunately I'm not much of a falafel or baba ganouj chef, so a few days of a baby on a hunger strike usually means I'm rewarded with a night off from cooking while we take Jacob out to stuff himself full of his favorite foods.

One thing's for sure. I have a feeling we'll all be much happier when he learns to keep his foot off the table so that he can actually reach his dinner.
