Picky Eater

So I am dealing with a VERY picky 15 month old. He won't eat anything I give him. Right now he will only eat yogurt, grilled cheese and kix cereal.

I just don't know what to give him. Everything I try to feed him, he won't give a chance. He won't even put it in his mouth. He has a texture issue. If it looks odd to him, he won't even try it. I feel that he isn't eating enough. He takes interest in what you are eating, but the second you try to feed him what you're eating he turns his head or won't open his mouth. We've tried to let him feed himself what you're eating and he won't do it either, it just ends up on the floor.

His doctor says he'll grow out of it. The doctor says to not worry about it, he'll eat when he's hungry. We've been playing this "game" of his for over 3 months now. We are in need of some help. Any ideas on what to feed him.

What A Week

This has been one heck of a week. I am so darn tired and no end in sight.

Michael will be gone the next 2 weeks. He may or may not be able to come home. It depends on the instructor. He is at some sort training for sgt's. I am going crazy. We find out when he comes home that day and it will be after the kids are in bed. So they won't see him for like 2 weeks. Ciarrah asked me today, Mommy is daddy at work, and I said yes, she asked how long will he be gone this time. ugh, I am so sick of him being gone.

Ciarrah has been having a rough week. She has gotten sad faces all week. She just can't seem to listen or sit still. She has been having a real hard time following directions too. Not really sure why she is having such a hard time. But I think we may go make an appointment for her to see her doctor and maybe she can help us with some ideas.

Cooper is WALKING. He finally can do it most of the time. He can get up without any help from anything. I so happy he finally figured out how to do it. He is so proud of himself too. Now he likes to climb on to everything. Its quite a task some days. I can't leave the room otherwise he'll be on something he's not suppose to be.

We are planning on turning our dining room into a play room for them. And putting our table in the kitchen since its big enough for it. Then we are putting up a gate from one wall to the other, so at least I can be in the kitchen and not have to worry about him being into something he's not suppose to be in.

I hope everyone has a great weekend, I am hoping we do too
