Cutie Pie's first birthday is in one month, one week, and one day. My oh my how time has flown. Lately I have been obsessing over trialing foods that will provide her with a birthday cake and fun birthday foods because, you know, she REAAAALLLLLY cares. This week we settled on a sunbutter trial. We are on day three and so far, so good. She can't decide if she likes it or not. On Friday I tried spreading some on her cheecha puffs and it was a no go. Then I just put some on a plain spoon and let her suck on it and she seemed to like it a little. Saturday it was a total refusal. So then today for breakfast I made her a banana/coconut/sunbutter mush and she ate half a bowl! It was chunky and thick enough that I could put some on a spoon for her and she could then feed herself without it sliding off her spoon. Sunbutter would be a great pass for us. It's high in calories, a good source of protein and iron, and let's face it - it is delicious! Plus, I'm thinking I might be able to fix up some sunbutter frosting to top some muffin/cupcake/cake concoction and it would make a delightful mess for a smash cake! I am imagining the pictures already....
Our goal for this week is to get into a routine of "eating" three meals a day. I have a bad habit of just giving her a couple puffs or a toy or a sippy cup to play with while we eat because she makes such a mess and eats so little. But with only a little over a month until she is one it is time to buckle down! We did pretty good today, and actually she surprised me with how well she ate. I do, however, think we need to get a dog to clean up the mess she makes! I swear I spend more time cleaning up after meals than I do preparing them!
