Why Yogurt?

I'll tell you why.  Because, it's packed with nutrients and it can be calorie loaded as well.  And, what's most fun for Bella, you can dip stuff into it including (but not limited to) crackers, a spoon, and your fingers.  She is particularly fond of doing this with her fingers.  The messier we can get, the better the experience.  This isn't really my favorite philosophy, but it's what's best for Bella.  As I type, she is covering herself in peach yogurt and talking about how she likes it.  She also has taken to saying "Mmmm" when she eats.  Steve is highly amused by this.

Feeding Bella is certainly an adventure.  It takes time and effort and you aren't always successful.  Really, you might be successful 50% of the time, if you're lucky.  However, this is something we can overcome.  In fact, this is how Bella is going to become proficient with a spoon and fork, because heaven knows she won't let me feed her anymore :).

And now there's a big glob of yogurt on the table.  The most fun you can with a spoon is flinging your food.
