Remi Eats Manhattan

I never thought I would raise a carnivore. In the baby food section I buy a wide variety of jarred fruits and vegetables, but NONE of the meats. And all was fine. Until Remi got hold of a chicken bone.
She loved it. In all fairness, though, she loves all food. At times, it really is kind of like a Godzilla movie in which the protagonist -- in this case a giant baby in diapers -- lumbers through the streets of New York putting anything and everything into her mouth. To date, she has attempted to eat
  • the letter Q
    the number 7
  • our wine saver wine stoppers
  • wood chips
  • corn cobs (sans the corn)
and pretty much anything she can get hold of. A list of her more conventional diet at her current age of 9 months includes
  • peas
  • carrots
  • squash
  • hummus
  • guac (and any form in which avocado comes)
  • potatoes
  • yams
  • mashed fruit (apples, blueberries, pears, mango, apricot, bananas)
  • Annie's organic bunny crackers
  • cheese (cream cheese, cheese sticks, monterey jack cubes)
  • cottage cheese and yogurt

And most recently we have discovered that she loves steamed artichoke hearts.

Keep in mind that the child still has no teeth. They are coming in now and making our lives h--l. It feels like these teeth will never make it through, but when they finally do... look out, Manhattan!

Ha! Those pictures are classic. I especially love the Number 7. And I am going to have to try giving Ezra some cottage cheese - everyone keeps telling me babies love it... right now he loves broccoli, avocado, Cheerios and grilled cheese.

Of course she loves to eat!!! Food is the center of her social world. And God knows,,,,,,,,,,Remi LOVES to be sociable. But I have to say, I am somewhat amazed at the variety of foods she enjoys.
I promise not to introduce her to candy, but I will bring marshmallows for her gooooooye pleasure.
