Cuff Stuffer

According to Wholesome Baby Food: 

Your 8 to 10 month old baby might be crawling and trying to pull herself up. At this stage, your baby may not have a big interest in eating. Your baby may suddenly begin to refuse to eat. She's simply too busy to stop exploring her world and she may get quite miffed when you put her in her highchair to eat. With her independence growing, she may also begin to show preferences for certain foods and refuse to be spoon fed. Take heart - this stage of baby feeding, while quite challenging, will soon pass. 

I thought we were going to have to resort to putting her food in the cat dish – which she has an insatiable desire for. Or that all the floor fuzz she manages to stick in her mouth was filling her up. She can spot the tiniest fluff from all the way across the room and crawl-runs trying to beat you to it. I keep expecting her to poop a sock. 

Accepting how much she loves to put little things into her mouth we're going to try some soft finger foods like sweet potato cubes and avocado and tofu until she gets over her refusal to eat more than two spoonfuls of anything. Today we tried squished-up blueberries and bananas bits and small pieces of whole wheat toast. Other than the rejects I found stuffed in her pant cuffs I think she filled her belly.
