LOVING yogurt




We have been battling wills (Kelsey vs. Daddy and I) in trying to get Kelsey to drink whole milk. We've tried different cups, bottles, temperatures and flavors (strawberry, chocolate and banana) and man, our girl is stubborn! ( I can't imagine where she gets that- poor, Adam!) We do feel better though knowing that Kelsey now LOVES cheese and whole milk yogurt. In order to get her to eat it, we have to give her her own graham stick to dip into the yogurt so that she'll be distracted enough to eat it when we spoon it in her mouth. I never imagined the lengths I would go to to get her to eat. If only she would eat the more fattening foods the way she eats fruits and veggies! Currently, she'll also drink about 8 oz of whole milk blended with vanilla ice cream and banana- a melted banana milkshake. (shocking, right?!) Though if we call it a milkshake, she shakes it everywhere, so we've settled on the term "smoothie." She really is full of personality and independence! We are definitely up to the challenge to help her put on weight! You've met your match little girl! :)
