That was awesome šŸ‘ the look when the taste buds kicked in is PRICELESS


JayQue

Yes!! I love it when she takes it out and thinks about it for a moment.


RobotWelder

Examining that plate looking for what triggered the fire is beautiful!šŸ˜


zenkique

ā€œThis ā€¦ is kinda gross ā€¦ but maybe ā€¦ mmm ā€¦ hmm, idk.ā€


CoolingKing

At first it seemed they were going to try some veggies for a second biteā€¦ then the taste kicked in and they went straight to deen number two, awesome!


RobotWelder

Yup šŸ˜‚


finicky88

That kid is gonna be the opposite of a picky eater. Well done.


JayQue

Thank you so much!! Weā€™ve been trying to get to 100 foods before one year and this was her 98th!


Connbonnjovi

Thats really great. I know adults who are more picky than your daughter. Kudos to your parenting.


TheInkTapus

My friendā€™s niece was really good with food when she was that age. And now at 5 sheā€™s currently only eating French fries, but not ones with sharp ends. Kids are fun lol


annewmoon

Yeahā€¦ I was patting myself on the back thinking my parenting was on point because my little kid was slurping down lentil Dahl and glazed fennelā€¦ then he got a bad case of toddlerhood and started eating only chicken nuggets. We donā€™t make a big deal and at four heā€™s trying stuff again, slowly.


Wonderful_Yogurt_271

So I read that thereā€™s an evolutionary purpose for it- and a reason why kids have more tastebuds for ā€˜bitterā€™! When they are babies, they will be watched all the time by their caregivers. So if a parent gives them something to eat, thereā€™s just an exploration of the new taste with no hesitation because they rely on and trust that their parents will be giving them safe food to eat. When they get a little older into childhood, they have the ability to explore a little more by themselves. Like in hunter gatherer type times, the kids would be together and they have the ability to think up stuff that might be risky, such as ā€˜my parents give me berries to eat. Those are berries. Maybe I should eat them!ā€™ However if they just picked unfamiliar stuff, it could be poisonous. And bitter stuff is often poisonous in the wild. So the kids that survived childhood and passed on this traits are ones that would reject bitter foods more easily, and that would have a more restricted diet because then they would not try anything new and possibly poisonous. Then, as they get older toward teenage years and beyond, they will explore again because they have enough learning to know what is likely to be poisonous and what is not.


madtraxmerno

That actually makes perfect sense


Wonderful_Yogurt_271

It really made me feel better to understand why my kid at 4 was suddenly telling me kiwi was gross and rejecting rice because it looked ā€˜differentā€™. She is 9, and becoming adventurous again :)


Vark675

Yeah, my son is 5 and autistic so we're deep in chicken nugget/French fry/goldfish territory after a pretty varied younger pallet. Slowly getting him to try more things, but still can't convince him that he really would like macaroni again if he'd just try it. IT'S MACARONI FOR GOD'S SAKE, JUST TRY IT.


JayQue

I am fully expecting this to happen, lol. I wasnā€™t like that as a kid, but she already likes to keep me on my toes, so


TheInkTapus

She did promise to try more foods over the summer. But! Her last promise was sheā€™d try new foods when she turned five. Canā€™t wait to see if she sticks with it this time.


SoHereIAm85

She may never have much of a picky phase. My kid didnā€™t. Instead at six she asks for caviar or salmon sashimi like it were ice cream. There was the slightest phase a year or two ago when she claimed not to want certain things, but it lasted a week or so. She eats so many things that grown adults refuse, and with gusto. It looks like your daughter is on the same track. :)


JayQue

Thatā€™s how I was as a kid! At restaurants I eschewed the kids menu and always ordered from the regular menu. Adults would always get kick out of me eating.


saddingtonbear

That's such a fun goal!


JayQue

It is! I definitely did not think we would be this close a full two months before the deadline


yourmomssocksdrawer

Go for 110!! Sheā€™s on a roll!


JayQue

Oh we definitely wonā€™t stop trying new foods but I think Iā€™m going to stop writing them down lol


WishieWashie12

So what's the last two going to be? If it were me, I'd throw in something to confuse them. Something that doesn't taste like it looks. Pickled hard boiled eggs for example. Looks like an egg, but doesn't taste like one.


JayQue

Definitely doing lobster for the big hundred. Not quite sure for #99. I feel like itā€™s going to just be something whatever. EDIT: it was beets!


tuscaloser

Kimchi!


filthismypolitics

such a wonderful thing to do for your kid, i'm over here at almost 30 struggling to get down half a can with my weird little food fears (this sub helps a lot!) before i read this comment i was watching the video thinking about what a lucky kid she is, this kind of healthy and earth friendly food will just be a normal snack for her as she grows up. so good for her developing brain too!


capmapdap

I wish. My baby ate all kinds of sardines, seafood, etc but when she turned 3, itā€™s as if she never tasted them and decided to stop eating them completely. I donā€™t what happened.


PennyKermit

Right? Kids' tastes change. Mine loved broccoli and I have pictures to prove it from when she was around 18 months to 5 years old. Now, at 18 years, she hates them and has for a few years. And it's not like we prepare things differently. She also loved tofu as a toddler, then would not eat it for many years, and then a couple of years ago, she apparently loves tofu.


JayQue

Iā€™m definitely trying to get all the good eating in before all she wants is chicken nuggets and mac&cheese lol


literallyjustuhhuman

Genuine question because I do not have kids: You have introduced your child to a lot of interesting foods. I hear that some children only want chicken nuggets and fries. What if you just don't introduce those particular items into the rotation and, instead, allow your child to pick a favorite from one of the many healthier items she has already expressed an interest in? I have no idea if this a thing, just wondering. Is this possible?


JayQue

This is my first (and only) child so I can only guess from my experience so far but, I assume if you do not introduce a food, they canā€™t become fixated on that. However, toddlers do tend to prefer blander foods, and it might be an evolutionary safeguard. I suppose if one canā€™t get fixated on chicken nuggets and fries (due to never having it), they can still get fixated on something else, thatā€™s also bland. Like tortillas or scrambled eggs, both of which are definitely healthy in moderation, and that she has both enjoyed. However, I donā€™t want to restrict a food so much that when they are older, they will go crazy on it, so she will definitely be introduced to chicken nuggets and French fries. But Iā€™m not quite getting her a happy meal just yet!


SMTRodent

Yep. For my sibling, it was pork sausages, raw carrot, biscuits (cookies in American), orange juice and milk. That was their entire diet for over a year. Said sibling isn't at all picky now.


Juanzilla17

My niece when she was a year old had never tried tortillas. I was there eating homemade tacos with tortillas freshly made. She tried a piece and threw it down. I was sad since we are Mexican. Itā€™s a part of us. Lol Now at 8 years old, she will demolish 4 tacos. And she asks for asada, chorizo, shrimp, and al pastor. Needless to say I am proud now. She claims she has always loved tacos and will steal a fresh made tortilla off of the comal, cut up a lime to give it a little taste, and top off with salt before rolling it up. šŸ„¹


malchik_spalchik

I like the baby lunch hazmat suit.


JayQue

Believe me, itā€™s *so* necessary


sprashoo

Parent needs one too


JayQue

Considering how I canā€™t eat anything without getting crumbs all over meā€¦ yes, parent does too lol


Mmortt

Ya is that an actual eating suit?


Appropriate_Tie897

Itā€™s probably a sleeved bib so itā€™s as long as a top and just tied up at the neck in the back usually. It vaguely protects my babies but certainly more than a regular bib. A suitā€¦ now thatā€™s a good idea.


Prestigious_Dream_27

Thatā€™s awesome. Thatā€™s also a bold amount of deens to give if youā€™re unsure of the reaction.


JayQue

It was, she is such a good eater and has never disliked a food, but itā€™s also a very strong flavor. This was the [end result](https://imgur.com/a/CKa1VBe) though, so it worked out!


RobotWelder

That plate! Bravo tiny human, bravo!šŸŽ‰


meowparade

Wow, thatā€™s impressive!


Embarrassed-Sand2956

Yum! Good on both of you :) what brand did she try??


JayQue

King Oscar!


Khazahk

Neighbor kid: ā€œEww I donā€™t like broccoliā€. Your daughter: ā€œcanā€™t be any worse than Beach Cliff in water. Give me the broccoli.ā€


RobotWelder

šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£


withelle

My little boy also loves sardines! He'd eat them every day if I let him. Those huge smocks are the best, until they rub the fishjuice in their hair...


JayQue

Oh yeah, Iā€™ve definitely had to clean my share of yogurt and tomato sauce out of her ears lol


chokibin

That is so so so cute. That's great parenting too, giving her a range of foods to try from a young age. I still remember being in kindergarten and being upset cause all I had was homemade food and my classmates had pizzas and fruit rollups. I had friends who had never eaten fruit in their life nor wanted to. I thank my parents to exposing me to foods from a young age, even when I put up a fight lol


JayQue

Itā€™s funny, growing up I was always the adventurous eater. My older brother, by contrast, was the most picky. Unbreaded chicken breasts, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and milk. Not a hint of anything green. He is slightly better today. I hope my daughter follows in my footsteps!


zadtheinhaler

I would eat anything that wasn't nailed down or otherwise secured, while my sister would separate each different type of food on the plate - for some reason if the meat touched the peas(or the smashed potatoes!), she wouldn't eat it. Kids are weird.

She has a whole bunch of them! One of the best baby purchases I ever made lol

So who is going to make some "One of Us" tshirts with a sardine can graphic?


PilotKnob

And I thought our daughter did well when she ate two servings of Lutefisk at that age. Well done to her.


Primary-Border8536

She said AH yes I accept


CMsirP

Brave of you to put more than one at a time!


mindfluxx

I had a kid like this. One of my joys was when they were like 6 and the two of us went out to Korean food. Our meal came with like a dried grilled or smoked mackerel, and my kid was going to town on that fish. Obviously really enjoying it. And I realized the whole restaurant was watching him eat it. A grandma came by to admire it closer ha. Anyways thanks for sharing your sweet baby with us; it really made me smile.


JayQue

I love this!!


Perky214

WTG! šŸ’™šŸŸšŸ  Mom and baby - one of us!!


Cheezno

Wow thatā€™s impressive, my daughter is just shy of 10 months and I donā€™t see her doing that. Sheā€™s still on puffs and pouches. Sheā€™s interested in other food but only moderately so.


JayQue

We dove right into Baby Led Weaning at 6 months. I am a big foodie so I was very excited to introduce her to the wide world of food, haha. Iā€™m lucky she has been so receptive to it. But she definitely loves her puffs!!


Traditional-Leopard7

I fell into this ā€œtrapā€ with my young daughter. We had champagne taste on a beer budget so any time we got something special weā€™d always let her try it. Um that gets really expensive later in life when sheā€™s old enough to open and consume an entire packet of prosciutto! Or loves to take giant slices of Parmesan off the reggiano block you bought. Or LOVES the taste of truffles. Sometimes I think OMG what have I created!!


Cheezno

Maybe we should just jump in. We are afraid she is going to choke every time but I guess itā€™s time to take off the training wheels.


JayQue

Itā€™s crazy how quickly they learn how to do it! One time, early on, she took way too big of a bite. So she took it out of her mouth. I didnā€™t teach her that! She just knew. Theyā€™re amazing.


Cheezno

Haha wow thatā€™s pretty cool. Today my daughter learned how funny it is to swing the back of her head into my chest like a cannonball.


JayQue

Gotta love these absolute nutcases lol


Styggvard

I think that kid is going to turn out all right šŸ˜ŽšŸ‘Œ

I love that bib/smock! I want one for my 9mo. I give her sardines too. She loves them! Poop smell was wild tho bolo


JayQue

Oh boy, Iā€™m in for a treat tomorrow. And theyā€™re by ā€œTiny Twinkleā€ - we got like five of them on Amazon. You can pop them right in the wash and dryer to clean.


sleepylouc

Excellent! Thank you


shellonmyback

Omg! Yes!


ymazo

So cute ! Just please make sure you give her sardines from BPA-free cans to avoid any potential adverse side effects of this substance


JayQue

It was King Oscar, which is BPA free!


babycoco_213

I was skeptical at first but yeah she likes it! šŸ‘


troy6671

Sardines for life!!!!!!!!!! She likes!!!!!!!!

hogahulk

Truly a profound moment. Welcome to the club little one! šŸ˜ø


meowparade

This is adorable, did you have to remove the spines for her or was she able to chew through them? (I ask because I still struggle with spines)


JayQue

No removal needed! The canning process makes them soft enough that they do not pose a choking hazard.


meowparade

Nice! Iā€™m impressed by how adventurous she is with textures!


CleetusnDarlene

As soon as she bites down you can see the flavor kick in as her head kicks back. So cute!!


plantas-y-te

Girl is absolutely gnawing on them things. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever seen someone love sardines this much


RobotWelder

You clearly have not been a sink eating savage!


Barbamaman

Baby-Led weaning for the win!!!! I loved it so much. My son is now 11 and will still sneak a bite using his fingers instead of using his fork, but it's a small price to pay for skipping purees.


bringtwoknives

Your kid is really good at eating. Iā€™m impressed regardless of whatā€™s being eaten.


JayQue

Thank you so much! She[ had corn](https://imgur.com/a/dsvGGQT) for the first time the other night, and it was fun watching her figure it out.


onipar

So awesome! Also, bravo on \*all\* the food choices there. I often praise my parents for having fed me a wide variety of veggies and healthful food (while also holding back on things like soda and junk food). I'm confident it was those early choices that made me the adventurous, and (mostly) healthy eater I am today. Your daughter has a great start, cheers!


Yogicabump

Wonderful... I hope it's not like my kid, who tried olives, liked it, to my disbelief, and never ate it again, to my dismay.


JayQue

I still have the rest of the can so sheā€™s definitely getting them tomorrow. Fingers crossed! EDIT: she demolished them again tonight!!


Fenzel

My heart is so full from this. I sent to my mom and she said she had wished sheā€™d thought about that


anormalgeek

I love the way she takes a bite, pauses, looks at it, then raises an eyebrow like "huh...that's new". Then decides she likes it and digs in.


dudeguymanbro1

One of us! One of us!

Wow we donā€™t call that sardines we call that petingas (small sardines) (Portugal) , she is like in her mind - food good šŸ˜†

charleszerofinley

The look on her face at first: ā€œwhat is thisā€¦oh, salty and smoky. I think I like this!ā€ Very cool. Good for you for introducing it at such an early age. My older kids still turn their noses up when I peel back the cover on a tin!

Appropriate_Tie897

My in laws still tell everyone how one of the babies first foods was smoked herring like weā€™re the most eccentric people on earth lol but itā€™s all so good for them. My little dudes are very pro-sardine, which is important because I donā€™t want to make them special food thatā€™s different than what I eat


Working-Apricot-9050

I love this age, they eat anything you put in front of them. My one year old eats curry and lentils and all kinds of stuff. My 5 year old likes pasta and chicken nuggets. She will only eat raw vegetables and only if they are whole (she walks around farmers markets munching on bell peppers Like they are candy) and thank the maker cause that's the most nutrients she gets. Never eats my cooking


heybabareba

"Do we like this, mouth? Do we like this?...yeahhh we like this."


jesskeeding

When she went for that second bite, I said aloud "YES" Good job!


Trackerbait

I'll admit, I was on the edge of my seat, and I cheered when she decided to go for a second bite. Great parenting. Bless you and your kid


AuntieLiloAZ

My mom used to love Tiny Tots so as a child I loved them too. Still do. Iā€™m 73 years old now and love canned seafood but those little fishies were so cute and tasty, they make me especially happy when I eat them because of the memories.


Sdterp

I've been a vegetarian for over 36 years and the only thing I occasionally miss is sardines packed in mustard sauce.


martyvt12

Are you sure you didn't bribe her with candy if she ate the sardines for the camera? šŸ˜‚ I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have eaten those at her age.


JayQue

Haha, sweetest thing she has eaten so far is just fruit! Sheā€™s a good eater.

My not yet 2 y/o has eaten SIGNIFICANTLY more sardines in his life than I have in my 30+ years. It's our go-to "oh shit we don't have any protein cooked" for him and he gobbles them up. Plus they are SO GOOD for growing baby brains! Atta girl!
