I've become a big eater

I'm happy to say that Bella has become a big eater. She has finally taken to eating by spoon, and enjoys her vegetables. And we just tried meat with veggies, which has gone well. We still don't like our fruits very much, but hey I won't complain.
We do sometimes call her a pedia snob, or joke about how she needs her pedia crack. What am I talking about? Well the doctors and nutritionists, told us to look into pedia sure, as a substitute for formula, since it packs more calories per ounce. Well we tried it one day, and low and behold Bella loved it. And who wouldn't, it tastes like a vanilla milkshake. She also decided she didn't want anything else but the pedia sure. We soon realized that we had to give her small doses of the pedia sure and decided to mix it into whole milk and completely transition her off the formula. That seemed to work well, and now she has a pretty balanced diet (at least for a one year old). Not to mention the pat of butter she sometimes gets mixed into her veggies to give her additional calories.
So I would say we are doing well, and feeding her doesn't seem like such a chore anymore. Way to go Bella!!
