the prince and the pea

Aiden's been more and more excited to feed himself. He can pluck even the tiniest peas up and pop them in his mouth. He usually wants one for each hand, but it definitely seems that he favors his right pluckers. His high chair isn't looking as much like a big throne now that he sits up and reaches out over his tray. He really seems to like veggies more than fruits lately.

We've tried a bunch of finger foods and his favorite definitely seems to be the cheerios, but peas seem to be a close second. We went to lunch the other day with my friend and she had puffs for her little girl. He didn't seem to keen on them and made a face like it had a strong flavor. I decided to try one to see if strawberry apple puffs were really strong, but that couldn't be farther from reality. They are tasteless blobs that must expand in your tummy.

I think it's sometimes just the texture that throws him off. He will keep eating, but sometimes the first reaction looks like a deal breaker. Here he is not so interested in his peaches, which he did finish after all.
