Growing Girl!

Samantha has been getting "people food" off and on for awhile now. We discovered the other day that she is now refusing to eat baby food. I tried to give her some and she stuck her tongue out and let it all fall off. We were just going to use up what was in the cupboard and then bot buy anymore. Now I have to see if I can find someone I can give our left-overs to. If we are eating something she can eat, we cut it up small enough for her. If we are eating something that she can't have (like tacos or something) we have been giving her Little Graduates Pasta Pick-up ravioli. We sometimes give her some cut-up fruit and cheese for dinner. Her birthday dinner consisted of watermelon and cheese. She loved it! :)
On her birthday we gave her her first taste of real cow's milk. It took a little time, but she began drinking her milk from a straw cup.
We have changed her schedule around now that she is eating differently. For breakfast she gets a fruit bar (baby Nutri-grain) and a bottle with formula. For lunch and dinner she gets table food and milk. And for her bed-time snack she gets a bottle. We will continue with bottles until we are out of formula and then she will be strictly on cow's milk (as long as the doctor approves).
So much is changing so fast.......and Mommy is getting weepy. ;)
