The babies are almost a year old now, and I just thought I'd write a little about what they are eating these days. They both have very hearty appetites, and eat almost anything! We had a tough start to switching over from purees to what I like to call "real people food"...but a little patience and a lot of persistence paid off.
Kayla & TJ now eat 3 full meals a day, and 1 snack.
Breakfast consists of 7 oz of formula and food. Some of their favorite breakfast foods are homemade cinnamon oatmeal with chopped fresh fruit (usually peaches or apples), pancakes/french toast/waffles with strawberries, cinnamon toast with canteloupe or honeydew, Homemade Farina with fruit. Unfortunately, Kayla doesn't like eggs very much, and although I do re-try it about every 2 weeks...she really isn't crazy about them!
Lunch consists of 8 oz. formula and food. Their favorite lunches are toasted cheese or toasted cheese & tomato on whole wheat, quesadillas, peanut butter & jelly on whole wheat, leftovers from dinner the night before, and of course...always lots of fruit or veggies!
Their afternoon snack is usually a yogurt or a cheese stick, or some cheerios, puffs, or goldfish.
Dinner consists of 8 oz of formula, and really...whatever we are eating for dinner! These guys eat steak, chicken, pasta, meatloaf, meatballs, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, green beans, carrots, asparagus, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant...pretty much everything. They even ate enchiladas a few weeks back!

TJ reminds me of Chase... he will open his mouth really wide for anything that resembles food! TJ and Kayla have gotten so big, and are really happy babies!!
