The eating habits of the Miss Grey Kahle.

None of this is probably out of the ordinary of any young eater. But why is it still so darn entertaining?! Grey started, like most, tossing things off her highchair that she doesn't particularly like or want at the moment. I guess sensing our disgust, she decided to just put them as far away from her as possible. Without most of the mess. Most of the mess...



Still, it amazes me what she does eat. Tomatoes. Just plain tomatoes, one of her new favs. She'll eat half of one at a time (I usually stop there and try to give her something else because that seems like a lot!) Avocados, her all time favorite I think

. Even over cheese. Blackberries - maybe that shouldn't surprise me, but the seeds don't bother her like I thought they might. She just started eating more of chicken. She's always loved fish though. I don't know...but I love to see what she thinks of foods. Without any influence of culture or TV, she just likes what she likes. I love it.

And who doesn't love lasagna? Food coma:

Get this off my hands.

I only say that because she usually doesn't like any food on her, in particular, her face. Anything outside of the mouth she usually tries to get off with her wrist, then rubs her arm/wrist with her other hand, trying will all her might to "get it off!"  But not with lasagna. Exception to the rule. The one time she has fun with it...and tries to find (I think) itches (all of a sudden...) on her head, eye brows, whatever skin is exposed. All along with getting it all in her hair. Again, nothing different than any other kid. But still cracks me up.  ;)

 Whatever, get it all over. It's worth it.

And the coma continues and truly sets in...

Managing to get some last minute broccoli in, just for dear dad. (I don't think she'd do it for me...)

Sigh. 

Eating.

Sleeping.

The hard life.

12 month shots

Boo. Poor baby.
I turned back to see how Grey was doing after her shots, (12 month check-up time!) She ripped off one of her band aids and was rocking her bunny. Melt me, why don't you.

But, on an upside, this was our first meeting with her pediatrician, and we LOVE her! A hippie with a Medical Degree. We shared our passion of non-petroleum and fragrance free products, among other things. Ha Ha! I tried to research online about a good doctor, and ask people here who they use and like. I couldn't be happier. She greeted Grey with a new book. And read a little with her. Then encouraged us tons to do the same. She spent lots of time with us, made sure everything was all good, answered any questions, no rush. I was pleased.

And Grey was good. The nurses even commented, "She's so chill."
Yeah, sometimes.

But she was brave and did good. And I was lucky that Jude came too...he always tried to make her appointments. What a sweet daddy.

21 lbs. 30 in.
She is in the 75th percentile for height and 53rd for weight. Not climbing the charts anymore, but, healthy!  You did good little one.
