Gerber Good Start: Toddlerhood

My baby is turning one in a little over a month and I can hardly believe how big and independent she is. She's a very sassy lady! Ali is the happiest little munchkin, always smiling and babbling - her personality shines through in everything she does. She's crawling all over the place and pulls herself to stand on basically everything she crosses paths with. Our two bedroom apartment suddenly feels very, very small! Ali has also developed a very discernible palette and has an automatic internal alarm clock for mealtimes. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are sacred times for her and she already has her go-to dishes. Ali's independence shines through at meal time - she refuses to be fed and will only eat things she can pick up with her tiny fingers. It's so fun to watch her pick up her little bits of cheese, berries and even shredded chicken! She has quite the appetite and that's where Gerber Good Start comes in.

With toddlerhood fast approaching I'm already prepping some different dishes and stocking the pantry with some more grown up (and nutritious) snack and drink options. Bye, bye formula! Stage 3 Gerber® Good Start® Grow Toddler Drink is one of the things that's currently in Ali's cabinet waiting for the 12 month mark. Specifically designed for toddlers 12-24 months, Stage 3 Gerber® Good Start® Grow Toddler Drink will ensure Ali receives all the nutrients she needs to feed her growing body and independence. 

It's hard to believe how quickly our first year together has gone but I'm looking forward to this new stage with my baby girl. What are mealtimes at your home like?
