I've been having the hardest time trying to figure out what to feed Wes lately. He REFUSES to eat any vegetables (except sweet potatoes), he'll only eat a couple bites of whatever I give him, and if it's something he's already eaten in the last couple days he won't touch it. I have to vacuum and mop after every single meal because he throws everything on the ground. I dread mealtime because I know he won't eat and it's going to be a mess. What's even more frustrating is that if doesn't eat well I know he's going to be up all night, or wake up super early the next day because he's hungry. I've thought about dropping breastfeeding all together just to get him to eat more, but that just feels mean. Anyway, I came across
this list on pinterest, from the Real Life Reality blog, and it has a lot of really good meal ideas that might get him eating, even if it is only a couple bites. I particularly like the idea of making a veggie omelet or baking oatmeal. He is anemic, so I really need to find a way to get him to eat the iron fortified baby oatmeal. Here's a picture of Wes hating pasta. Who hates pasta?!?! Weirdo.
Note to self: Never go to the beach on Valentines day/the hottest day of the year so far/a holiday weekend. We thought we would be smart and go to the beach for lunch, instead of out somewhere for dinner later, but apparently everyone had the same idea. We drove around for over an hour looking for parking. Eventually we said screw it and drove back inland and went to Islands (at least they have a beachy theme). After that we took Wes to a park (probably the best park I've ever been to) and watched him run around. Then we went over to my parents house so he could play with his cousin. My parents were babysitting my niece and nephew. We came home around 7:00, put Wes to bed, and fell asleep on the couch watching Scandal. So yeah, that was our Valentines day... Super romantic. Our little third wheel definitely had the most fun.
