Cranky 10 months

10 months brings the prospect of soon popping 4 more teeth, hence the crankiness. Plus, he's become the PICKIEST eater! Lately all he wants to eat is sweet food, thank goodness he'll at least eat his fruit. He doesn't want to take a bottle anymore which worries me about him getting dehydrated! So, if anyone has any suggestions on getting a picky eater to eat something more than fruit, PLEASE let me know! I'm hoping this is just a phase he'll grow out of quickly...probably not!

McKenna won't eat beans or peas if they are blended but she will if I give them to her right out of the can. I do heat them a little but she eats them great that way. Hope that helps. And for the bottle just give him a sippy cup McKenna really likes Carson's.

At least he eats fruit. Elizabeth won't let us spoon feed her anymore and will only eat what she can pick up with her fingers (fruit is a litte slippery to pick up). As for teething, a cold teething ring, the Oragel stuff, and the little white teething tablets from Walmart --all work pretty well. I've also heard that letting your kid chew on a frozen, wet rag or some regular beef jerky works to sooth their gums. Where are you guys at these days?

I always start to worry about dehydration when they want to eat tons more solid food (or refuse a bottle), but it turns out they've both survived so far. Yay!
