So lately Kayden has been getting more and more inquisitive, especially when it comes to what’s on Mommy and Daddy’s plate. Come dinner time she reaches for whatever we are eating (or drinking for that matter!). I decided to up her dinner time to when we were eating dinner. I found, though, that I was feeding her right at our dinner time, which meant that I would have to re-heat my dinner in the microwave after baby and daddy were done eating. This worked fine for about a week and then I decided to get creative. I have been feeding Kayden pureed veggies for a while. In fact, I have been feeding her random peas and tiny pieces of other veggies  randomly from my plate as well. So, I decided to steam some veggies and cut them into super small pieces and put them on her highchair tray during dinner time. To my surprise/delight it worked! Scotty and I enjoyed a quiet dinner for the first time in months!! Sure it resulted in A LOT of clean up, but to me it was totally worth it! She was so happy grabbing at her food and trying to put it in her mouth. Sure it wasn’t as fast as mommy shoveling it in, but minus a few frustrated screams, it was a total success!!
