The good news is that he can stay on his formula until he is 2, so I don't have to worry about him not getting the nutrition he needs. The bad news is that the dietician had no advice for if I should try to transition Carson to the sippy cup or a cup instead of bottle before then. Oh well, more research.
I am still feeding him solid foods as much as possible. He really likes beans of all kinds, and they are "magic" for curing his constipation problems. He likes fruit, and now he has actually started eating it rather than chewing it up and spitting it out. Today he ate half of a big strawberry. Yesterday he ate most of a chunk of pineapple. He still likes crackers, but I have now switched to the Ritz multigrain. I would like to find one with more fiber that he likes, but until then, they seem to satisfy him.
I am certainly getting an "ed-u-ma-cation" (as my silly dad would say) with raising this boy. He is such a mess when he feeds himself that I wonder why no one has invented the "full-body" bib yet (see photo above). Eating can be adventurous!
This is so funny... I just started the book "Just Two More Bites" about picky eaters and diet issues of all kinds. (Annabelle is a fairly picky eater and we've been looking for practical advice on getting her over this.) Nice that he can stay on formula! It's magical how much nutrition is in that stuff. ;)
