C's eating habits have been a roller coaster over the past few months. At Thanksgiving, he ate casseroles, turkey, nearly everything he was offered, but a few weeks later... he became the baby version of Ghandi. I'm not sure what cause he was starving himself for, but he wasn't eating anything save for cheese. Carter would "remove" his food from his view, stack it up, or just wait, wait, wait for the cheese.
After serving multiple options each mealtime in an attempt to get something ingested, last week he finally started eating from the non-cheese family: toast, pasta, sweet potatoes, pb sandwich, cereal, but no veggies.
A couple nights ago, my mom suggested dipping veggies in applesauce. We didn't have appleauce readily available, but Mrs. Schwangston was feeding C some pudding. Broccoli+pudding! C was all about it. Normally we try everything that we feed him, but I'm passing on this one. Let's hope this is just a short term fix, or it could spell trouble down the road.
Thanks for reading...

Poor C. The guy looks like he just got out of the ring with Tyson. At least his ears appear intact.
I understand the love for cheese. Audrey was that way too! It passes though. She eats pretty good now that she's 3. You have about 2 more years of force feedings and creative ideas to deal with!
Virginia has survived for weeks on bananas and mac & cheese alone. It never crossed my mind to dip veggies in chocolate pudding, but I say whatever works! How much does he weigh now?
Pudding covered veggies, is this a food group I do not know about??
Hilarious! I thought nothing seemed more disgusting than watching my niece dip broccoli and lima beans in ketchup, but pudding does sound slightly more repulsive.
Great picture! Good luck with the eating habits. I often feel like a failure in this department, so no good advice to give. Maybe I'll try the chocolate covered broccoli with #3.
Didn't Elvis dip his veggies in pudding? Ha!
