odd foods

I just had to get on and write about this because I still can't believe what food our little girl prefers over others. Before we started her on solids I had many people tell me how "babies love peas" or "don't do fruits before veggies." Well let me tell you.. Francesca likes the oddest food. Originally I had mentioned that she didn't like carrots very much. I believe that was because of texture of the carrots that I had made for her wasn't something she liked. She likes them now (yay). 

She hatesss peas. Hatesss. She loves sweet potatoes, squash, and green beans are ok. She loves her fruits- pears, peaches, even prunes, but here is the one that lead me to write this post wayy past my bedtime! Yesterday I bought some bananas and avocados to give them a try. I decided to start with the bananas because she was having a whiny night and I really just didn't want to have to fight her to eat. 

ha. 

she showed me. 

I made these perfect bananas- which tasted delicious might i add- and she wanted nothing to do with them. nothing. she took maayyybee two bites. if that. 

to say the least she didn't eat much food food for dinner last night. 

So. Tonight I pulled out my baby cookbook and decided I was going to give the avocado a go. The recipe is obviously really east for basic avocado, but it did say to add a splash of orange juice so as to not make it so bitter. well I didn't have orange juice, but I did have some Gerber Pear Juice- which she isn't quite sure about when I water it down, probably too much- well to get to the point... she lovvveddddd it! like, it was her favorite. 

who on earth prefers plain ole avocado (not guacamole style) over delicious bananas. Now, I don't know why I just said that because I've already thought of one person, Sarah Steffes. But she's the exception since she has never liked bananas for a reason I clearly still don't understand (gol.. love you stef!). 

but honestly.. isn't that super weird? maybe this is more common than I know, but I'm pretty sure baby girl loves odd foods. 

on that note.. goonight!
