Alaina is SO Marshall's kid. Especially in her eating habits. Now that the doctor said that we could start transitioning her from baby food to "real" food, I have seen a distinct love for pasta. Now, I like pasta, but I think that Marshall must have Italian in him. He'll have to tell me if he finds any Italian ancestors on his genealogy search. That's how much he likes pasta. Of any kind.
The other day, Marshall's mom gave us some cans of Chef Boyardee ravioli- and I made some for myself for lunch. I just offered her one to see what she would do with it. GONE. She devoured them. I couldn't give them to her fast enough. The kid ate like seven raviolis. And this is a child that a good meal is 1/3 of the baby food can. (She made a stinking mess, and I DID take a picture, but it was on my phone, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the pictures off of my phone, even with the USB cable.) It was very cute- you'll just have to take my word for it.
Then there's the heat factor. I've never been a fan of hot stuff. Marshall is. He likes jalapenos and banana peppers. He likes salsa. And what do you know? Alaina does too. Now I'm not a horrible mom- I didn't give her jalapenos. But the other day I made a quesadilla with banana peppers and tomatoes. (using the things I get from my lovely garden) When she saw me eating it, Alaina was very emphatic that she wanted one too, so I cut off a piece and gave it to her. Gobbled it right up. All told, she ate half of one. I think the baby food is just too bland for her. I don't know. But she definitely likes food. :D And there's no question that she's related to her daddy.
