Our Kids

We went out to the Pumpkin Patch this week and it was fun. It was so windy and uber dusty but the girls had a great time. There was a bounce house, a barrel ride, a corn maze, a hay maze, some animals and of course pumpkins. They had a great time but I think I am still getting dust out of my ears!

Stay tuned for pics!

I have an honor badge for the way the girls eat. I mean I get all the looks (good and bad) from friends and family. Those girls eat fruits and veggies like they are going out of style. They eat beets, kale and all other sorts of vegetables. Now that they are older they eat cookies and other things too but they are totally easy to feed healthy foods.

Landis on the other hand has been more of a challenge. She had some serious texture aversion since I started feeding her at about 8 months. She would gag if anything was pureed but she had no teeth to eat anything else. I started giving her chunks of broccoli, sweet potatoes and such and she ate them and then her body sent them right out whole! TMI I know. But that is all she would eat, chunks of food and anything white (potato, rice cake, cracker, noodles).

Here is the thing about kids, never give up! Keep trying the same thing over and over. All of a sudden Landis is eating pureed baby food, LOL! So bizarre, now all cubed food is chomped and spit right out but pureed food is like nectar from the Gods. Can you believe that? So now she is eating pureed sweet potatoes, carrots and green beans (she still eats the noodles, rice cakes and crackers). Oh well, just like anything else in parenting it changes every day and keeps you on your toes!
