So first off, you have seen my post and questions on Facebook about ideas for finger foods for daycare to broaden our choices and options so of course we are trying lots of new foods to assist in this goal of having lots of options for Matthew for lunch.
So I bought the pre-sorted greenbeans from walmart in water, ready to go in the microwave for 25 seconds...and Matt really likes the babyfood green beans so this should be a no brainer...lets just gloss over that when we gave him frozen green beans he chewed them for a few seconds then spits it out...I thought well its frozen and reheated maybe he just doesn't like the texture or something...but oh no...he is totally doing it with the canned green beans...he chews a few bites but instead of swallowing, he spits it out...ugh...
So I thought, he likes lunch meat and it was suggested turkey sausage to make those wrapped in biscuit things...and since Matt likes lunch meat, hopefully he will like this...oh no, as he is spitting out his green beans, yeah, totally spitting out the turkey sausage pieces I have painstakenly cut up into small bite size pieces...so now I have another 3 containers of green beans and a bunch of tiny turkey sausages...Jay better help me eat these b/c I am so making sausage and biscuit thingies tomorrow for him...
So maybe he will eat them at school right??? Gotta hope
So for pre-nap afternoon snack, I go to my go-to items, some cheese, puffs and yogurt melts. So guess what, the put in my mouth, get all sticky and wet with my saliva, chew a bit or so and then spitting out is now the eating habit of Matthew...
Yeah, so a huge mess, of course he is wearing a bib so not the end of the world but of course he wants at times to squeeze the yogurt melts and partially digested food in his hands then rub his hair so I get this very sticky food in hair do on top of everything else...it is kinda funny and cute but OMG, not cool, is he eating any of this, I hope so b/c gosh darn it I am trying to feed him healthy stuff and what ends up happening is I feel like I am then eating it on top of my normal meals...I am going to gain all my babyweight back if this keeps up and I keep eating all this food that he won't eat...
So hopefully like all his silly and annoying eating habits I hope this one will pass soon.
Now for an update on the sippy cup, it certainly has been a struggle the last few days but it appears he is doing better with his sippy cup b/c that is all he is offered so I think he is figuring it out if he wants to drink his formula he has to suffer through the sippy cup.
As for the pacifier, that is also coming along, he is only offered the pacifier at nap time and bed time at least at home...not 100% sure with daycare and the gym daycare, but he is going through his day with less reliance on his the pacifier.
On to my next questions, so we searched on the App store for fun stuff for Matthew, I downloaded a few and so far the Flash Cards seem cool and go through a bunch of pictures with sounds provided of cars, food, animals, numbers, shapes, colors...so I like that one and the Fisher price animals is ok, as is the baby hear which is the free version so we just get the 9 animals that come with the free version...but if you have an app that your little one likes and is FREE, b/c I am cheap right now on buying these things b/c he will probably only play with them for a limited time but any cool ones, please let me know. We have the Ipad 2...if someone can suggest a sing along one or some reader one, and if it is cheap and comes with a great recommendation, I might be persuaded to get it for him.
I guess that's it...keep your finger crossed that this spitting out the food habit passes soon...
