A few things...
1. My kid still nurses and then sucks my finger to go to sleep. I am still holding him for naps and be sleeps in our bed at night. He starts daycare in March and I have to get my butt moving with helping him to become a bit less reliant upon me. Anyone had luck with eliminating sleep associations? Advice for getting him off my finger? (Yes, I know it is weird... and we should have used a pacifier.) 2. My son is super active, obviously intelligent, but still not traditionally babbling with the mama, baba stuff. Anyone had a kid who was similar? Could he just skip that altogether? 3. He is unwilling to even try most foods we present him with. He eats a ton of purees, Gerber yogurts, puffs, crunchies, and yogurt drops. I hate that he is eating so much processed and sugary crap... but he is unwilling to eat anything else. Any suggestions to get him to try more real foods?
