our little foodie

I’ve mentioned before Emily’s new appetite for solids and her stubborn refusal of all things on a spoon.  In terms of our plans to have a baby led approach to solids, things are working out great, but the worrisome (and maybe competitive) part of this mama would like it if her baby would eat from a spoon AND feed herself just so that I know that she’s getting a decent amount. 

I’m in the process of making a washable mat out of PUL to go under her high chair so that I’m not washing the floor nightly.

Anyways, the point of this post was to show my beautiful daughter daintily enjoying some spaghetti and meatballs.

For the record there was very little food on the floor when she was done, so hopefully most of what’s not smeared on her tray made it into her mouth!
