Addie's a cheese kid. I keep telling her she's going to turn into a piece of cheese. She used to make me open the fridge door and she'd point to the juice and "uh!uh!" until I got her some. Now she opens the little cheese department door and gets a piece of cheese out first. :rolleyes:

He has cereal and/or toast in the morning unless it's a weekend when Sean goes out and gets him hash browns or pumpkin bread.
He'll usually have a snack of cheese or pretzels mid-morning then have a sandwich or hot dog for lunch. In the afternoon he'll have an apple or a granola bar or goldfish. Then usually chicken or pasta or some combination thereof with rice or corn or carrots for dinner.
Then ice cream or a brownie for dessert :)

Averie is a pretty good eater. She loves chicken, turkey, ham (lunch meat) and cheese. She also like fresh fruit; kiwi, bananas, apples, grapes (peeled) and mandarin oranges are her favorite. She loves Cheetos and anything Gerber Graduates; pasta pick ups, shells, spaghetti rings with meat, meat sticks, Lil Crunchies, Puffs...all of it. She also regularly eats dinner with us if whatever we're having is able to be chewed (no steak for her just yet :hehe: ). She's really good with her little fork already but her spoon skills need a little work :p
Matt loves pears and clementine. He can go to town on one of those mesh feeders and a clementine! He gets really excited when he sees the fruit bowl which is funny.
We also do a lot of the Annie's O's. He loves them. I found a similar kind at Trader Joe's and he'll those too.

Hannah loves food, period. I can't think of one thing she's tried that she didn't like. Our usual day starts with cereal and fruit or oatmeal and fruit, eggs, biscuits, and fresh fruit on the weekends. Then she'll snack on some Gerber graduate snacks (she really loves the veggie dip puffs). Then for lunch she usually has a bottle, then naps. Then snacks on cheese and crackers. Then has whatever we have for dinner usually. If it's something she can't have, she eats one of those little Gerber graduate meals.
The child just loves to eat. Anything we're eating she thinks she has to have a bite or it's the end of the world.

Isabella is a really great eater, I'm lucky.
For breakfast every morning she eats half a banana, though she only really likes toast with almond butter or scrambled eggs (try not to give it to her more than 2-3 times a week).
For lunch she always eats half an avocado. And then whatever else... sometime left overs, sometime a sandwich. Depends.
Her snacks usually consist of crackers with hummus, sometimes cheese. Every mid morning she has Nancy's whole milk organic yogurt with some sort of fruit (strawberries, blueberries, mango, whatever). As a treat she'll sometimes get annie's graham bunnies.
For supper she usually has a variety of veggies (carrots, peas, spinach, sweet potatoes, broccoli, etc) and some sort of lean meat. She loves fish/shrimp. Some chicken and sometimes will eat a little bit of beef (only in something like vegetable soup/stew).
If I let her she'd eat pasta with sauce every meal, every day. I do brown rice pasta with a veggie pasta sauce.
I really wish she liked rice. It would be so easy but I can't for the life of me get htis kid to eat it.
Oh she also likes beans... sometimes.

I've been wanting to try raisins with her (and other dried fruit for that matter) but I wasn't sure if she was too little. She still only has a few teeth and definitely not molars yet so I'm not sure how she would do with it...

:lol: My mom and I took Averie with us to Thai Basil Fusion for luch earlier this week. I gave her a taste of my sticky rice and she stuck out her tongue and grunted while trying to literally scrape it off her tongue :lol:

There are different sized ones....the first kind we got were really big organic ones but soft so they fell apart in his mouth. The second kind we got were really tiny raisins...so although "harder", they were safe from choking.... they were soft enough to suck on and chew a bit before swallowing.
William has been great with them. He's only got 4 front teeth on top and 4 front on the bottom...no molars either! And we only gave them to him about a month ago. My mom was babysitting and I went to get him and was in his highchair eating them. Prior to that I wasn't sure about them yet either....but he loved them so I had to get more.
He also loves dried mango and apricots! we cut those up tho. And you can soak the raisins the first few times to soften them up....just make sure if they bloat up a bit to cut them in half if they are big. :)

I thank God everyday for giving me such a great eater with my Layla. Sierra is VERY picky and won't even try food if it's new to her most of the time. Layla has eaten and enjoyed everything we've given her so far. For breakfast she eats bananas, strawberries, pancakes, waffles, Cheerios, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, or oatmeal. For the rest of the day she'll eat whatever we eat cut up into small pieces. She has like 14-15 teeth so chewing is not a problem for her!:hehe:

Lily eats anything we give her :hehe: She is in love with pineapple this week, and any type of bread. And don't get me started on cookies. I had to start baking applesauce cookies, and I've been doing different recipes with squash, zucchini, raisins, oats, etc. to try to keep them relatively healthy. If she sees someone snacking she MUST have something. Sigh.
Tyler is in his picky stage. I know it's part of the age, but ugh it gets annoying. He does not like sweets, which I don't really have a problem. But somehow, a kid of mine does not like pizza or cheese-- where did he come from?? :hehe: He is also very anti-sauce right now. :rolleyes:
Jack loves blueberries. He could eat those, clementines, rice cakes, Annie O's, brown rice and black beans or brocolli all day. He also likes cheese, but i try to limit the amount i give him.

Matt's new obsession is blueberries! I squish them and he just chows down. :hehe:

Connor has always been a great eater, he eats his and sometimes his siblings left overs LOL. And that can happen even if he's already had seconds or thirds(the eating his siblings stuff).
Avery is picky. He really dislikes veggies of any kind and will work his way around them if I make something that has veggies in it(like goulash). He's also our ketchup fiend, must have it with most everything he eats.
Devinn still has a smallish appetite(which Im sure will change in a couple of years LOL)but eats what he's given. No pickiness with him either. He is our milk fiend, he drinks it like its going out of style.:hehe: Thats all he'll drink really.
As for foods its pretty much a routine around here...
Breakfast foods:cereal(dry or with milk), Fiber One "breakfast" bars, pop-tarts, waffles.
Lunch:hot dogs/corn dogs, pb&j sandwiches, turkey/cheese sandwiches, chicken nuggets.
Dinner:whatever I make LOL. Chicken dish, hamburger dish, pork dish, veggies. Occasionally a salad or jello too.
Snacks:fruit snacks(gummy), pop-tarts, pudding, cookies, graham crackers, goldfish, fruit medley or something fruity. It really depends on what we have.
Drinks:juice or milk in the a.m., water the rest of the day.

Conner use to eat any and everything. Now he is picky and doesn't eat very well. :rolleyes: I think a lot of it is because my parents keep a lot of junk in the house where we never really did.
One thing he will always eat and always has is fruit. He loves fruit!
He also loves chicken. Any kind you give him, nuggets, breast anything he'll eat it.
