Favorite finger foods

We have difficulty feeding aizen and demetri.

But i just wanted to share that their current favorite finger foods is tofu for Aizen and steamed apples for demetri. Aizen will grab for that piece of tofu i just placed on his plate and stuff it in his mouth even though he still has 2 more other pieces of tofu already in his mouth. It’s like he’s afraid I will take it off his plate if he doesn’t snarf it down right away. Demetri, on the other hand, is much cleaner when he eats. he will swallow every last piece of food in his mouth before he crams in another, and when we spoon feed him and sees the spoon of food coming, he will chew is food with much gesture and take a big swallow and then open his mouth for the next spoonful of food. Aizen would open his mouth even is he hasn’t swallowed anything yet.

And another thing about aizen, he refuses to swallow his food sometimes. It really pisses darrell off.. but that’s for another post.

This evening I gave them chicken nuggets and usually Demetri is much more partial to them compared to aizen (aizen would eat all the tofu and poke at the nugget, and demetri will snarf down the chicken nuggets and squish the tofu to nasty little pieces) but they both equally liked the chicken nuggets! Yay for more protein!   I always worry that they aren’t eating enough of the protein.

For this recent thanksgiving, i have found that they love eating lumpia! They can easily eat 4 pieces each of the lumpia shanghai style. Yay for eating with no fussing!
