Table food

It is now official that Francesca prefers table food to baby food.  Tonight she happily ate chicken marsala - pasta, chicken, peas, mushrooms and all.  She has become quite the expert at picking food up off her tray (or Mama's plate!) and thoroughly enjoys drinking from her sippy cup.  Definitely showing more autonomy.

Of course, it's another story entirely with Mateo, who prefers running around to eating.  Every night is a battle to keep him in his chair to finish his dinner, but somehow we manage to get him to eat most of his food.  He is the first to start and the last to finish.  At least Chester gets some good food.  Tonight Mateo fed our dog the mushrooms - Mateo doesn't like them, but of course he believes Chester does (and yes, apparently Chester does like mushrooms).

I took a picture of Mateo slurping up his spaghetti noodle, but for some reason my computer won't post the pic.  Bummer.
Hi! I love to eat!
