This past week my mother was in town visiting. She doesn’t come out this way often, so we always make the hour drive to a small, popular Brasilian cafe when she’s here. With no high chair, we had to feed Baby J on our laps. He had a sampling of each of our plates, but his favorite food was the fried aipim (yucca). It was not breaded at all and just lightly pan fried.
The aipim was already cut in strips, which made it perfect for little hands. It was soft enough that it fell apart in J’s mouth really quickly and he devoured it fast. I may try to find some aipim and experiment with baking it later.

My name is Maya and I live in California with my husband Mark and two sons, "the Menininho" and "Baby J." J was born in Dec. 2010 and is our first BLW baby. He was exclusively breastfed till 7 months of age when we started solids (asparagus). Baby J has Marfan syndrome and some motor delays that can go along with that diagnosis, so we're being cautious about introducing solid food as he is still working on sitting independently for long periods of time. So far, he's quite enthusiastic about the foods he has tasted though!
