Deborah is the mom to a hilarious little girl named Pri (6/19/2010). Pri started BLW when she was 6 months old and other than that she is exclusively breastfed. They live in the Great White North (aka Canada) and enjoy hanging out with other moms and babies and eating food.

Food Sizes

When we first started BLW with Capri was 6 months we would give her large chunks for food so she could hold them with her fist and chew on them. For us this worked for a long time since she would just munch on things with her gums (she didn’t get teeth until around 10…

Peanut Butter and Honey

The moment I have been waiting for since the day Capri was born and I was eating peanut butter toast over her little tiny head. I love peanut butter (like I can eat an entire jar by myself with a spoon in a very short amount of time). The first time Capri ate peanut product…

Capri’s First Cake

Capri turned one on June 19th, and on the 18th we had her party. Up until this point she had not had any sweets so it was a big day for her. She had a watermelon themed party so this was her slice of watermelon (though she ate real watermelon and other fruits and veggies…

Pad Thai

We live in a really small town, and our farmers market is super lame…but we have TWO Thai vendors at it. I am always scared to try new food and Thai food always scares me because I have friends that live there and they always talk about the spicy-ness of Thai food. So I decided…

I have been dying to give Capri corn on the cob. And it has started showing up in the stores more and is on sale and Capri has 1.5 teeth so we got some. We roasted it in the oven and cut hers in half. It had some butter and pepper on it and she…

Oatmeal goodness

A couple weeks ago we decided to give Capri some oatmeal before bed just to see if that would help her sleep longer (it didn’t). But she seemed to really love the oatmeal. We used quick oats and mixed them with some water and vanilla (because plain is just gross). It was not bad and…

Popcorn

Popcorn – this was something I was not planning on feeding to my daughter for a while because I still gag on it and I am 24. We had friends over the other night for a movie night and Capri decided sleep was over rated and staying up with the grown ups was a much…

Candy…I mean Bacon

We LOVE bacon in our household. My husband and his friends get together and just eat bacon and play video games, that is how much we love bacon. So we finally gave Pri a piece of bacon. She made her daddy proud. She absolutely loved it. It won’t be something she eats all the time…
