Beef Jerky

For some reason Ajax has not been terribly interested in food lately.  He doesn’t really want finger foods and he could care less about purees.   The only time he’s excited about food is when either Dave or I are eating our breakfast; then he’s trying to climb onto our plates for a bite.  At dinner or lunch, however, not so much.

For example, today I made Ajax and I egg sandwiches for lunch, I know he likes eggs, but he kept spitting it out!  And for dinner tonight I actually did something I never thought I’d do- I pureed meat.  I made steak fajitas for Dave and I, but since Ajax can’t be expected to have fajitas, I pureed some of the steak for him and made a rice/vegetable dish, which I found in one of my baby cook books.  Ajax ate a few peas and bits of rice, but that was about it.  I also made him homemade applesauce, but he was more interested in throwing that on the floor.

I’m trying not to get obsessed about Ajax’s eating habits.   The last thing I want to do is give the child a food complex!  I’m hoping it’s the teething.

Ajax had been pressing his face up against the glass and making a funny face. He's actually already broken our TV stand... I see why parent's can't have nice things.
