Oh how yummy vacation food was! I let the diet slide a little to enjoy my sweet tea, hickory smoked bar-b-que, onion rings at Clear Springs and these beauties- fried corn nuggets from the Dairy Palace in Canton. I love fried corn nuggets. Why didn't God make them healthy?
Dear sweet Abby Lu also decided to let her diet change a little this week as she flat out refused to eat anything on a spoon! Seriously child, pick a different week, perhaps when we are AT HOME, to decide you are ready for big girl food. Not the week I have pre-planned and prepared your meals with enough detail a spreadsheet could have been deployed!
We had to go to Target, get highly creative at restaurants and allow bread to serve as a main course. We had hoped the protest would end when we were back home, but it didn't. So, we are trying lots of new foods this week as we transition from pureed food to small soft handheld foods.She liked most options we gave her.... this is her face trying a pickle! So funny. She made this face and then went back for more!
We bought fruit cups, rolls, raisins, cheerios and Gerber carrots and apples at Target in Tyler mid-week. At restaurants, we fed her sweet potatoes, avocado, grilled chicken, turkey and cheese, from our meals, and even a little plain pasta. She is still alive, so it all worked out.

She wants big girl food. Really, she is totally almost a year. :) Next month she might ask for a cocktail...
Welcome to toddler hood. The place where in about 6 months where you certainly will need a cocktail, a good amount of patience and a good sense of humor! All kidding aside, I actually think it is easier than newborn because they can kind of tell you what they want...although that also makes it more difficult. But, there so cute. Even when they throw themselves on the floor. :)
OMG, I laughed at the spreadsheet bit. You are the eternal event planner, m'dear! Hooray for the next step in food...Abby Lu is growing up! While it's sad, it is a whole new world to explore for both of you (and to learn the real meaning behind patience :o) Kudos to you for rolling with the punches...that whole event planner side of you is going to serve you well!
