The b's of broccoli and banana

We were having spaghetti bolognaise tonight so I switched back to whole carrot sticks and did some broccoli as well. She found the idea of holding the food a bit odd today, it did look like she was looking for the spoon! Her mouth was open and she was staring at my hand. So I know I'm holding the broccoli in this picture and that that isn't strictly BLW. But she had a good munch. And carrot sticks she was sucking in whole. We had our first gag after she managed to gum off a good bit. If she can get the food into the sides of her mouth between her gums then she chews just like you or I would, which is fabulous.

We also tried her on a bit of banana for pudding. With Naomi we held off on fruit because we didn't want her to get a sweet tooth and it totally backfired in one sense. Even at nearly 3 she struggles to eat fruit, she really doesn't seem very interested. Although she doesn't have that sweet tooth so that is something to be grateful for! She is as disinterested in most kinds of pudding, cake or sweets.

Here is what the aftermath looked like!
