Food update part III

For those who are keeping track, Amelia has now decided that she likes all foods {even mango and kiwi} as long as they are mixed with something...apparently she's not a picky eater just an adventurous one! So the trick to the "hated" foods {mango, kiwi, yogurt} with either her cereal (she's moved up from rice cereal to a quinoa, whole oats, & amaranth multi-grain cereal} or more mild fruits. her menu each day looks something like this:
breakfast - multi-grain warm cereal with a hard boiled egg yolk mixed in
Lunch - a mix of three fruits/veg {a vitamin A fruit, a vitamin C fruit, and a mild fruit} Typically carrot, mango, peach or kiwi, pear, and plum.
Dinner - "powerhouse foods". For now it's usually sweet potato or butternut squash mixed with avocado and Nancy's Organic Yogurt . Next month when she's allowed to add greens this meal will include a cube of kale/spinach mixed.
I am still making all of her foods, i love making her baby food. It's pretty easy and quite satidfying to know that i am providing the best foods possible for my baby - I wouldnt change it for a thing.
Basically, my child has a "diet of the stars". This mixed with her daily massages pretty much means that she lives in Spa Clark. Must be nice :-)
