I do it myself

Feeding Baby Wily is challenging. She does not want to eat mush and she most certainly does not want you to feed her. But, as with most 8 month-olds, her fine motor skills are not up to the task of self-feeding. This has resulted in several meals of Cheerios, Cheerios, Cheerios. This weekend, we discovered another option: messy meals.

By the time she was done, her chair was painted purple, her clothes streaked with goo yet our eardrums and sanity remained in-tact. We'll call it a win.

Nb's favourite food is rice cakes. I buy the unsalted adult version and break them up into about 4 piece he loves them. (There are baby/toddler ones as well for 5x the price)

Spiderman's favorite food is meat. He likes turkey sandwiches but half way through it, he just takes the meat off of the bread and eats it. Saturday mornings we have bacon. He won't eat anything else until the bacon is all gone. If you aren't watching, he will steal it off your plate.

Oh, he can never get enough tortilla chips.

You know what my favorite food is?

Chicken Wings.

...wait, that doesn't help you at all, does it?
