So Difficult

Rooney has been a real challenge trying to get him to eat lately. Seems the only things he wants to eat are yogurt and anything spread on a Baby Mum-Mum. He's not interested in self-feeding himself anything soft (e.g.bananas and peas). He is also not interested in anything I have prepared for him (other than no-cook oatmeal) and if he has to so much as use a tooth on any food from a jar...forget about it. I'm not all that creative in the kitchen as it is anyway, and Rooney's eating issues, are really sapping any ability I may have had. We don't even make our own dinners! We still order them from Designed Dinners.

Something else I have been trying to work on with Rooney, is getting him to know how to use a sippy cup. Things have not really been sailing in that area either. I finally found a sippy cup that has a sipper made from the same material as the nipples on his bottles. The theory is that he will be used to the flexibility of the sipper and will try to suck like he does on a bottle. I think I need more. I have to put some incentive in the cup. I was staying away from juice but I may have to pull out all the stops soon. I did let Roonster drink out of my cup this evening. He seemed pretty jazzed at first but after a couple of sips I think he realized Peach Ice Tea wasn't his thing.



Not only is Little Mister Wade snubbing my culinary skills but look what he's doing to this new toy I got him! I was pretty excited about getting this for him and actually went on a hunt for the 2 in 1 piano/xylophone.

It's possible he's trying to play with the piano with his toes but somehow I'm a little dubious.
