at this point maya doesn't like fruit very much, but she does like mandarin oranges. i tried fresh ones, but she likes the (sweetened) canned ones. i have been tricking her into eating apples by boiling them a little and mixing them in with her oranges. if they are small enough she doesn't notice the difference. i'm not sure if it's the texture or taste of "real/fresh" fruit but she just prefers the canned stuff.
and finally, while we were out to dinner she actually drank some water. for some reason she just doesn't like water or watered down juice. she's a milk girl. she drank about one fourth of her water and that was a miracle! it could have been the straw or the clear cup, either way, i brought it home to try it here. it's those little tricks we all try i guess, part of being a mom. =)

Isn't it amazing how all-things-food evolve for us?! I remember puree-ing everything for Gabriel with one of those little hand held blenders. There were certainly days when I thought that Gabe would never get enough to eat!
Now he helps us make meals and he actually EATS!
Keep on introducing the real fruits. I really do believe that accepting texture is a thing that needs practice. :)
Oh, Maya's gooood! Great snacks! Sammi's so limited in what she'll eat for snacks, or perhaps we're just so limited in what we give her to try. She doesn't eat fruit much, either, but I should definitely try the mandarin oranges. Okay, I'm inspired...
