EAT!!

Sophia has started to become a very picky eater and it is driving me insane. In the beginning she would eat so many different things and I think I kind of took that for granted. I have become obsessed with trying to get her to eat. The only things she really likes are Cheerios and Daddy's homemade chicken soup. She will have nothing to do with any fruits or veggies, especially if they are actually intended for babies (by this I mean made by Gerber or Earth's Best and packaged in little jars). I have finally had to just turn most of the mealtimes over to Joey because it stresses me out way too much to see Sophia eat a handful of Cheerios for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I have been reassured by the pediatrician that this behavior is normal and the more I fight it the worse it will get. I am also reassured by the fact that Sophia weighs 19.7 lbs. so between the Cheerios and the breast milk and the few other things we have been able to trick her into eating she is getting some nourishment. Hopefully, this too shall pass.
