Rina- you can give frozen veggies not cooked as a snack? Or did you cook the peas?

I worked all day yesterday, so don't have a rundown of exactly what James ate in the last 24hrs.  However, New Year's Eve DH made homemade pizza & offered to James with a side of veggies. James refused to touch the veggies. so then DH put the veggies on the pizza & folded the slice in half & James gobbled it up!  So the next night, DH decided to hide some veggies in Chicken Quesadillas. He ground them up quite a bit in the food processor & it worked! 

So I got the Magic Bullet for Christmas b/c I'm going to be introducing solids to the baby within the next month & wanted to be able to puree small amounts of food without breaking out the big Cuisinart.  And my mom saw the Oprah episode with Jessica Seinfeld & her book "Deceptively Delicious" & went out and bought me the book for Christmas. So I didn't see that Oprah episode, but since we know we can hide some veggies & James will eat them, I can't wait to look at her recipes.

Lunch: pasta, sauce, peas, meatballs (at the sitters)

Snack: dried fruit and cheese

Jenny - yes I just offer the peas still frozen, she loves them.

Zara eats most things, although protein is somewhat lacking. BUT she eats only small quantities LOL.

Oh and if Zara has something to dip things in, all she does is dip and suck, dip and suck.  Until she gives up pretending and sticks her hands straight in it and licks it straight off her fingers LOL.

Well we where at a birthday party this morning.  My Kid hasn't eaten this much at lunch times for ages.  So today so far

Sippy milk
Bowl of Cheerios
Blue Berries

1 medium size sausage roll
1 party egg
3 fingers of pizza
about 20 cheddar biscuits 
3 grapes
4 cubes cheese
5 wotsits & 3 quavers
1 mini swiss roll
then stuffed as many more cheddar biscuits as she could get her hands on 

currently having a crib party instead of napping, probably got belly ache backwards    At her Aunt's this afternoon where she also does nothing but eat, infact she goes in and the first thing she says is Din Dins! so who knows what her tally will be by bedtime 

Stacy, nice one on the rice  Lily used to eat it but has refused it lately so we have the opposite.

- Breakfast: 1 Kashi waffle toasted with butter, handful raisins. About 5 ounces 1% milk

- PM snack: handful cheddar bunnies, some diluted white grape juice
- Dinner: small amount of Tilapia (I made in a butter/garlic sauce), good amount steamed green beans, some homemade french fries
- Dessert: few teddy grahams, about 6 ounces 1% milk

[Grace's Mom]

how long do we need to keep giving Grace whole milk?

She is 21 months and is still only 22 lbs, but the Dr. is not worried....she's just tall and skinny.    Super Model here we come   

Since she doesn't weigh much should I keep giving her whole milk?

Yesterday:
Breakfast I bite of egg    She called them 'yucky eggs' today. 
Lunch (at the sitters):  ravioli, broccoli and something else...I can't remember
Snack: yogurt, bananas and cheerios
Dinner: pasta with red sauce (ate a TON), and some carrots (her favorite veggie...not cooked but dipped in ranch  ) and lettuce. Refused the shredded cheddar cheese I gave her and said it yucky


Marisa, glad you are feeling better sweetie
