I haven’t posted in awhile because I feel like, at least for my experienced eater, BLW has turned into just plain eating at this point. Sebastian eats like a toddler, usually a major grazer, which is perfectly fine. It is totally normal for babies to eat less as their rate of growth slows down. Sebastian…
Last night Sebastian tried corn on the cob for the first time. (These photos were taken during a brief power outage so they are a little washed out.) He mostly nibbled the kernels on the edges but clearly really liked it. This particular corn was grown in Grandma’s garden, making it extra special. Most foods…
We visited our fave sushi place again this week. I like being a regular at places. Sebastian is now big enough for the big kid booster seat rather than the bebePOD or high chair. He sat next to Mama and clearly enjoyed the freedom to turn and move his legs. As promised, Sebastian had a…
This week Sebastian and I had a play date with my friend Ginger and her toddler Ophelia. The day included a lot of food, starting with bananas for the kids while the grown-ups drank coffee. They also snacked on Goldfish and Scooby Doo graham crackers – Not necessarily the kind of snacks I would purchase,…
My mother makes organic strawberry jam every summer and of course it was something we had to feed Sebastian. He loves strawberries almost as much as he loves bread. I was planning on just spreading jam on a slice of whole wheat, mess be damned, when it occurred to me that he would probably do…
When my husband and I lived on the west side of town, Sesame Donuts was one of our favorite places to grab a midnight snack. The travel guides and Food Network will tell you to check out Voodoo Doughnuts when you come to Portland, but that place is overrated. Sesame may not have a wedding…
This is an opinion piece based on my instincts and independent online research (ie Google searching). I am not a doctor, etc etc. You should make your own judgements when feeding your children and talk to your pediatrician as you see fit. I have posted a few times about bringing Sebastian along to sushi, and…
My husband and I don’t eat out a lot. Typically my husband cooks or we eat take out at home. We do make a point to go out for sushi once or twice a month, however, and it’s a great place to eat out with Sebastian. Plates are cheap and there are lots of options….
One of the best perks to baby-led weaning is being able to easily feed Sebastian on the go. He is getting to an age where we do tote around some snacks as he is hungry often, but when we stop for a meal he gets to share in the experience and just have what we’re…
Sometime last week my darling husband pulled together this meal: Rice with cucumber yogurt sauce, (spicy) chicken and veggies. Unfortunately I didn’t realize just how spicy this chicken was until I gave Sebastian a fat piece and he started grabbing at his mouth and crying. OOPS. Luckily there was plenty of rice and sauce to…
