I've been catching up on the Baby's first year reading and at this age, if the baby shows interest...finger foods can be introduced such as veggies. I've had some veggies, but I've just been too busy to steam /cook them mushy enough that I feel comfortable that she wouldn't choke.
Today I finally gave her some while I was cooking dinner and she ate a BUNCH of greenbeans, carrots, peas and corn! She had previously had a few teething rusks (baby MUM MUM - I love these things and so does Allie since she can "crunch" them with her front two teeth.) She really loved the veggies!!
I was braggin' to Brad how much she had eaten...when he turned to leave the kitchen to change clothes....and then this happened....
...all the veggies and teething rusks that she ate came up when she got a little choked on a piece of vegetable...she didn't make a fuss about it and tried to pick up the whole chunks that came out to try to eat them again!! Needless to say, I yelled at Brad to help and he did all the detail work while I cleaned Allie up. A valuable lesson learned...I can give Allie finger foods...just maybe not as much!
