Today was a day of food-firsts for Michaela. It wasn't the first day she ate two different foods, but it was the first day that she ate them the way she did.
The first was yogurt at breakfast. For those who don't know, YoBaby yogurt is VERY runny and a little pricey, so we haven't let her feed it to herself, even though she eats everything else herself. This morning, I figured why not try it out... and she was fine. That freed up quite a bit of time for me while she ate!
The second food item was a banana. She's been eating bananas for almost as long as she's been eating solid foods. We started by mashing them up and thinning them out with milk. Then she got pieces of banana that were sliced and quartered. Then we graduated to chunks of banana, and the occasional straight-from-the-peel snack if I held the banana.
After her Fluffernutter sandwich this afternoon, and being a little lazy, I decided to just hand her a semi-peeled banana. She thought it was great and it certainly didn't slow her down. Ironically, when I peeled the second half and broke it into chunks for her, she was done eating for some reason. Apparently it tastes better this way!
