{191/365} When Liam started eating baby food there wasn't much he wouldn't eat. Fruits, vegetables, meats...everything was OK for the most part and we never had to worry if he was hungry. Eventually he ate more solid food with an exception...it couldn't be too crunchy or too big. So, while other kids were snacking on Cheerios or a gnawing on a piece of bagel, Liam would simply ignore them. It was slightly annoying not being able to give him a little something while food shopping or at the mall but there wasn't much I could do. Things changed around the time we started therapy and he finally discovered the wonderful world of Gerber puffs, yogurt treats and crackers...especially Goldfish Crackers. This came in handy for his therapy and to tide him over between meals. The only problem now? He has stopped wanting the "real" food he used to love and now only likes french fries and those darn fishies! Hopefully this is just a phase and I haven't created a monster. Tonight he was having a little snack after the dinner he never ate. (One positive note, he "fed" his dino one of the crackers. This is something our kiddo has never done before...and for Liam it's a really big thing). Saturday, July 11, 2009

Where would moms be without that golden fish cracker? I should have bought stock in that company! Did the dinosaur like the goldfish cracker? I hope so! He's so cute!
