Adventures in Eating

In the past month or so, we've been transitioning Adelaida from eating finger foods (like carrot sticks or bread with butter or pasta) to more complex dishes, like a sandwich or a casserole. Casseroles are often substantially more messy than individual finger foods, and I've taken a lot of pictures :)

Ravioli in tomato sauce:


Yogurt, with the yogurt on Adelaida's tray so she could do everything from dipping the spoon to putting it in her mouth:


More yogurt:


Cottage cheese, with two spoons:

the first ravioli was so good we decided to make more -- unfortunately, it was substantially more greasy and the tomato-based sauce stained everything!


Adelaida loved the ravioli! Fortunately she has a smock-bib that covers her chest and arms, but it was actually pretty hard to clean after this meal.


On the third day we gave Adelaida ravioli, she was wearing a very cute dress, so we stripped her and let her eat (almost) naked.


We've also been letting Adelaida eat from the table more recently, but she still sits in her high chair and eats off the tray for the really messy meals!
