Axel is a little gourmet, just like his big brother. He is not yet 8 months, but he likes "real" big people food the best. He will still eat baby food if he is really, really hungry and there is nothing else (well, sometimes), but he prefers to eat what we eat now. No more of that mushy stuff--he wants the real deal! Some of his recent meals include:
Apple Chicken Curry (chopped up in a mini food processor, but not pureed)
Spaghetti (same preperation as above)
Taco meat
Mongolian BBQ
Lots of bananas
Cheese - oh yum, this is a favorite
Lots of yogurt - Yo, Baby!
Organic Fish Sticks
Cooked Teriyaki Fish
Egg Yellow
Scrambled Eggs
Tomatoes
Potatos (mashed and baked)
Green beans (canned--they are easy to eat)
Various fruits: melon, blueberries (no strawberries or organes yet--still too little)
Blueberry Pie
Blueberry Pudding
Oatmeal
Avocados
Lots of Cheerios (then Luka has to eat them dry too)
And, as far as baby good goes, I bought him a bunch of organic ones, like we did with Luka. However, they don't have as broad of choices as Gerber does. Oh well. So, I did end up buying him some non-organic ones because he was more into the combinations they have. He particularly liked things like Chicken and Apple, and he loved the food Gerber makes for the Hispanic market (labels in English and Spanish and it says "Latin Recipes"). These were things like mangos for dessert and Beef and Tomatoes for dinner.
Little gourment that he is! Well, as we say, our kids are French. :>)
