聪明的一休哥 Matthew’s No Hair Day

“Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.” – E.U.
It seems that lately Matthew just doesn’t want to eat any solid food, he only loves bottles. Even worse, he pushes me away whenever I approach him with a spoon full of solid food. He is not quite 20LB at his 1 year checkup which concerns me since that places him at 8th percentile. I have come to terms already that he’s not going to be a Michelin baby but I would hope that he can at least eat sufficiently. Most 1 year old at this point can down lumpy foods and even small sandwiches and carrot sticks. In our case, I can’t even get Matthew to like rice cereal. I’m determined not to give up though. A coworker found me a nice book on baby food by Annabel Karmel. Ed and I are going to be more serious about meal time now. We will start today eating as a family at the same time. No more playing with toys and watching TV. I’m going to try this with him and see how it is in a few weeks. It’s very nice to hear that his daycare teachers are willing to work with us. No matter what comes, at least I know we tried our best. Now it’s Matthew’s turn to cooperate a bit more. Good luck.
