if eleanor could have her way, her preferred meal 3x a day, plus snacks in-between, plus all night long, plus whenever it's inconvenient for mama in public, is breast milk. but we've come so far the past few months (especially this last month) with our progress on eating solids consistently! it usually requires mama and papa clapping in unison after every bite she makes, and sometimes distracting her a little bit to get more bites into her mouth, but folks... it's happening!
and what's that? you want to see an obnoxious amount of photos of my baby eating her dinner of blackberries and pasta? well you are in luck, my friend! because i have an obnoxious amount of photos of my baby eating her dinner of blackberries and pasta right here:
and that's all! bye bye!

cutest photos ever!
hahaha she's such a happy baby!
HILARIOUS! Reminds me of my baby Lena learning to "eat" peas... http://makingroomwithus.blogspot.com/2011/10/picnic-lunch.html. Both of these posts read something like a Calvin & Hobbes strip!
So cute! :)
Cutest photos! and god, I love her eyes!
So cute, i love how she's always smiling :)
aww such adorable photos!

she is so darn cute! i love that lock of hair that comes swooshing right across her forehead.
and yay for breastmilk!
So by obnoxious you mean adorable right?! :) When you were describing Eleanor's eating habits (or sometimes, lack there of) it completely reminded me of my daughter Ingrid when she was that age (oh yeah, and now too!). Lots of distraction, and LOTS of mom & dad clapping and acting like she won a gold medal because she ate a bite. :) Glad to know we're not alone in that!
OMG, that is the CUTEST thing I've ever seen!

nananananana i can't believe she's this gorgeously cute. i love eleanor, your e's pics make my day every day, just say i'm feeling a bit down and i see her face and i find myself smiling bright and big and feeling butterflies in my tummy haha. Holy cuteness, lovely eleanor makes me wanna have kids some day, i guess it's just god sneaking through her eyes towards all of us! LOVE :D
cutest thing I've ever seen!
You're documenting your days and hers... Nothing obnoxious about that! She is so photo worthy!
how "baby-cute" is that !
i love that. i can't tell you how many food pictures we have of our two girls. i just can't get enough of their faces after discovering food.
i love your girl!!

So cute! She is such a doll.

She's such a happy baby. So cute. :)
so sweet :)
Messy food makes for some of the most fun shots. What a cutie!
Are you going to plan on tandem nursing when your next little one comes around? I considered it, but my little one was pretty over the breast at 12 months or so. Sounds like Eleanor is still going strong though! That's great!

She looks as happy can be:-) adorable!
ha! what a lovely combo... i'm sure i'll find that on the menu at the next fancy nyc restaurant i try.
...awww. :) and here I am wondering what blackberries and pasta actually would taste like. Must be real fun every time!
Whew! I thought I was the only one that stripped off the clothes before adding the bib to baby feedings at that stage. Nice it's not just me. Love the pictures! Way to go Eleanor.
hahaha sooo funny & beautiful. she is so cute *.*
:-D
I Love the picture with the single noodle in her mouth.
She is one adorable little thing!
xoxoxo

haha love it - i love photos of babies eating spaghetti and getting it everywhere. blackberries and spaghetti, though! i'll have to look into it.
So cute, she is so beautiful and look so happy.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! how freakin' cute is that! how i wish my future baby would look like that too!! :">
Her face seriously just melts me. Especially with the pasta hanging out of her mouth :)
I just can't get over her eyes. They're stunning!
I just can't get over her eyes. They're stunning!
How cute!
How cute!
Squee!! Bless her.... They are gorgeous photos Naomi. My Little Bun has just turned 6 months and has absolutely NO interest in solids at all. Nice to see encouraging pictures, knowing one day it WILL happen. You are beautiful Eleanor.
Aww she is so cute and I would take a million photos of her eating too. I can't wait to read what y'all life will be life with two!
I've always found that a messy baby is a cute baby! No matter the amount of stickiness!
love love pictures of little kids eating. always a laugh. i particularly am fond of the one with e and that noodle hanging perfectly out of her month all lady and the tramp style.
too cute! looks like she enjoyed it!

She's too cute for words!
We had the exact same issue and it sometimes feels like it took forever for the Babby to take to "real" food. But she got there, and self weaned, and is still not a great eater but I don't like to force the issue since if she's full, she's full.
Oh my darling! Those little teeth are too cute!
Those pictures are completely adorable. She's such a dollbaby! Picture perfect.
Your blog, and your lovely little nugget absolutely make my day! Thank you for sharing your family with us. :)
Uh, we are having the HARDEST time with eating right now too! Jared and I are always doing a song and dance to get that food down. Love the one where she's slurping the noodle :)
What kind of bib is that and am I correct in assuming there is some sort of catcher at the bottom of it? If so, goodness that is the best find ever!

I have to try Blackberries on Judah :-)
he sure loves his pasta
oh my gosh- so cute!
Such a cute mess she is.
Sounds so much like my daughter, right down to how she hated solids but LOVED those puff snacks. In fact around 11 months she decided to forgo ALL solids and go back to nursing like a newborn. That lasted a few weeks. Anyway now she's 13.5 months and since she turned a year old has gradually wanted more and more solid meals, and eats (and loves!) plenty of solid food now. She still loves to nurse though, when she wakes up and at snack time and at bedtime and alllll night and... yeah, it's exhausting sometimes. But I try to remember in the grand scheme of things, it's such a short period, and one day I'll miss our nursing time.
Seriously...that baby has the PRETTIEST eyes!! Thanks for sharing.
Her eyes are SO beautiful! Wow! Can't wait to see what your next one will look like. I always feel like a mad scientist when having my kids, " a pinch of daddy's hair color, mama's chin..."
wow...these are epic! so cute!
Wait...that is what we were calling an obnixious amount???? I could have handled at least 57 more! :) Hooray for solids!!
Somebody pinch me please. What a beautiful daughter you two have.
Who knew blackberries and pasta could be so much fun!?!?
Melanie
She is just the most precious thing! I love all of her expressions!!
Cutest. Baby. On. Earth.
haha awww!! she is the CUTEST!
adorable photos, she is so precious!
www.modernsuburbanites.blogspot.com
Oh, she is so lovely! :)
Those teeth! She makes the best faces and is by far the cutest baby I've ever seen.
These are some of the cutest photos I have ever seen! Such a little ham you have!
http://reallyrisa.wordpress.com/
Heh. You're right, those pictures are exactly what we wanted! What a sweetheart! (Sorry you're having such a fight with the solid food, though.)
she is unreal!!!! so precious!
This post just made my day. Not only because E is adorable, but because I understand that I am not alone in trying to live a "normal" life while breastfeeding an infant who wants to eat all night long, and all the time. Thank you for putting it out there, Naomi.
My little babe (who will be 8 months at the end if this month!) would love to nurse allllll night long as well. I feel so much pressure to have him sleeping through the night right now, that I thought surely I must be doing something wrong! It's do validating to hear that there are other babies out there who wake up to eat as well.
Oh, and I love how you said that you and your husband have to clap and sing every time she eats. I didn't realize how much of a show we put on until my mother-in-law pointed out that I was beep-boxing while my husband juggled clementines just to get our little guy to eat 4oz of sweet peas!
:)
By the way, all the pictures are darling!
LOL! Love that you had her eat dinner naked. ;D Gotta try with our 11 mos old, too.
Haha! It's better to have her eat without a shirt :) You're getting a pro at this Naomi, just in time for the next lil one. My kids are 9 and 7 already, but those early days are such fond memories :)
Haha Naomi this post is just too funny! And E looks like a pro eating that spaghetti :-)
aww! what a little messpot!
Lovely, lovely, lovely!
oh my gosh, those photos with the noddles hanging out got me. she's SO adorable!
How fun! I love all these photos! The best!
the pictures of her sucking in the noodle strands are the best! :)
what a happy girl! she is so adorable haha
xo lacey
She is a super adorable toddler! She has such a lovely smile and her facial expressions are just too cute! She seems like such a happy baby no doubt its because of her wonderful parents. Both of you and your adorable little girl are just the sweetest family. Happy January wishes. :)
what a cutie!
Oh my gosh, she is such a cutie!!!
The one where she is slurping up those long stringy noodles is just the best! Adorable.
no stinkin way. she's too cute.
Oh my Naomi, when you have 2 babies in your house there isn't going to be enough room for all the cuteness you and Josh create..I think we're all so excited!!!
i love these photos, she is so damn cute and gorgeous. i love remember how it was when my little twin sisters were babys in the age of one. gosh, so cute, but sometimes i had to help my mum clean them after their meal. grrr, i hat THAT! How is eleanor doing with the cleaning after a meal?
Gosh, naomi she is so amazing. i am so in love with your little one! <3
SO CUTEEE ♡

Love it!!!! Our little monkey was the same way - he loved momma's milk. And then he started to discover the joys of solids and slowly we weaned. He adores avocado (a nutritional powerhouse!).
your daughter is just TOOOOO adorable!
your baby E is so adorable! blackberries and pasta is a pretty interesting combo.. did you enjoy it for dinner too??
literally. the. cutest. ever.
Hee hee! She is so terribly adorable!!!
You could have posted more photos and it wouldn't have been too much. Eleanor is such a cutie and those photos are over-the-top funny! You and Josh certainly are blessed!
She has the most beautiful eyes!
Your Baby is just to adorable!! She has the cutest expressions! :)

well that is just ridiculously adorable, isn't it?!
that's awesome!! she's a doll!! {I like that she just has a bib on & no shirt underneath!!}
the family I nanny for has an 8mo & he only eats baby food & sucks on Cheerios.. but a bib for him is NOT enough, it still manages to get all over his shirt!! When I have my own kids... I think I will keep them shirtless while they're eating until they're at least 2!!!!! :)
ps best wishes with your new baby-babe coming!!
Clothes and food stains are just an obstacle for them at that age! love it! xoxo
hmmm... blackberries and pasta? unusual combo, but i can see that it works for her :)
pic no.4 made me laugh pretty bad!
leyla.
She is so adorable,those pictures and her expressions. I hate to use this word but she is just so perfect! Your second little one is going to be so blessed to have you guys as a family(:
I Also have a question for you! I'm thinking of auditioning for a couple of dance schools in NYC, Juilliard being one of them. And i'm just so nervous and excited. I love how you are so passionate about dance, that's actually how I stumbled onto your blog. I was wondering if you could do a blog piece on what made you want to pursue dance and what made you want to go to Juilliard. I'm so obsessed with dance, and yours is so beautiful and unique! Sorry, this is such a random request but i don't know ANYONE who has gone on to auditioning for dance academies, besides my dance instructor who just keeps telling me to not be nervous!
Thanks so much for even reading this! - Lizzy
Very cute! I just read on another blog that toddlers find meals more attractive when they have 7+ items on their plate! I'm going to try it and see how it goes . . .
Adorable! Love those baby teeth!
This is adorable! Gorgeous photos :)

lovely! Here in Italy we say 'bellissima!'.
Also eating cherries can be such an interesting adventure: see here my child Andrea at work ;)

Elanor is so adorable! Congrats on her eating progress.
My daughter is 3 1/2 years old & I still have to cheer & encourage her to eat.
these are perfect!
(I don't blame her for not wanting to eat solids⁄! If i had the choice of pasta and black berries or warm soft boobie, I'd take boobie!)
;)
the 3rd picture looks like she is pulling that noodle out of her nose. She is workin' it!

She's so cute!
And, breathfeeding all night long, ouch! ;-)
Your daughter is so beautiful and whatever filter you used on your camera is perfect.
Just wondering? Is it weird bf and being pregnant? I wonder how eleanor will feel once shes weened and sees her new brother or sister eating like she used too
That happens to the little boy I babysit all the time!! And he likes to put his fingers in the food and get it everywhere!! I guess it's a baby thing?
It's cute though, but messy!
I'm gonna die of cuteness overload.
you are funny, naomi.
eleanor makes me want my own baby so badly! i'm years away... (crossing my fingers on that one).
motherhood! there is no higher calling.
my daughter is doing the exact. same. thing. glad to know i'm not alone :)
seriously, she's just too cute!
