Oliver loves to eat! He never seems to get full. I keep expecting him to explode but it hasn’t happened yet. He’s a little skeptical of things that are green. Spinach isn’t his favorite food, but he manages to get it down. He just doesn’t eat it with the same enthusiasm as his oatmeal. Here is his typical day:
Morning
- Nurse
- Breakfast: oatmeal with fruit. Today the fruit was apple and blueberry. Tomorrow will be Mom’s peach and mango combo
During the day at school
- Bottle
- Lunch: one container of vegetables (green beans, peas, broccoli -- you can see why he is suspect of anything green -- carrots, squash or sweet potatoes) and one container of fruit (pears, apples, peaches, etc.)
- Bottle
- Bottle
Evening
- Nurse
- Vegetables/meat combo (tonight was turkey, vegetable and barley) and steamed broccoli
Usually a little fruit for dessert but not tonight - Evening snack/education in self-feeding: Cheerios
Although he has yet to show a single tooth, he’s finally figured out how to chew. Now we just have to work on chewing with our mouth closed. It’s just that he’s so proud and having so much fun! - Jenny

Oliver, keep eating your greens although sometimes you would rather not. Someday you will be taller than both your Mommy and Daddy because you are such a good eater. Look out Mom and Dad!
It has been three whole weeks since I last saw you you adorable little bundle of love. I would love to see you again soon but I will have to wait until you and Mommy and Daddy come down in a few weeks. Until then lots of hugs and kisses from Grandma Mimi.
