More spoon work
Ben is getting much better with the spoon! Well, he is getting better at knowing how to get the spoon into the yogurt to reload it himself. He’s still quite messy, but that’s to be expected. I’m very proud of how quickly he is learning to use the spoon on his own. Who knows, maybe…
Learning to use a spoon
Today Ben had his first experience with trying to use a spoon. I am taking full advantage of the beautiful Florida weather to teach him messier skills outside. For spoon practice, we climbed into a plastic pool with a container of berry-flavored greek yogurt. I preloaded the spoon and touched it to his mouth so…
BLW Sun and Sand Edition
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The best part of BLW is not worrying about what you are going to feed your baby. For Mother’s Day, we spent the day at the beach. We took picnic food and didn’t worry about packing baby-specific food. Ben had blueberries cut in half, which was…

The solids ban has been lifted
Ben has lifted his solid food ban. He still doesn’t have new teeth, and I can still see them pressing in on his gums, but the boycott is over. I actually wonder if he was having his 9 month growth spurt and wanted only breastmilk, because he sure is sleeping a lot now. Who knows….
Teething and the solids boycott
We haven’t been around this blog lately and it is because Ben is teething. From what I can tell, he’s working on teeth 3, 4, 5, and 6 all at once. Poor kid. As an understandable result, he is boycotting solids. His first two teeth took a MONTH to come in after I first noticed…
