Phoebe's favorite snacks

A few months ago Phoebe saw the container with potato pearls and kept pointing at it saying, "nanny". I tried to get her to eat other things that I thought would taste better but she was determined to eat them. I finally gave in and she still asks for them all the time. One day I got so sick of potato pearls all over my floor that I decided to make them mashed potatoes, but she, of course, would not eat them.

For being so tiny she definitely has an appetite when she wants. She loves to eat potato pearls, cheese, yogurt, anything with sugar or chocolate and can sense it a mile away, cereal, beans, cheese, milk (anything liquid is called "wa wa"), orange juice, water, chips, fruit snacks, goldfish crackers, cheese, granola bars, cheese, rice and sometimes grilled cheese sandwiches. She will eat veggies but she usually will not touch fruit. One day she will love something and the next day she is spitting it out like you fed her the most disgusting food. She likes to hold whatever she is eating and bite off of it. If we cut it up for her she usually will not eat it. Other times she eats better when we she sits on our lap and we feed her bites of our food. That usually ends up with her trying to feed us too. I can't figure her out but we sure love her anyways! -Katie

She's a peculiar little lady and I totally love her! Looks like she's using her spoon pretty well too. What are potato curls? Give her hugs and kisses♥
