Another trip to Sushi Train

Avocado roll (avocado wrapped in rice & nori)

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…

BLW with friends

Sucking on a piece of tilapia

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,…

BLW Faces–Apple Cinnamon Cheerios (whole grain)

Tomatoes

Tomato love

  This past weekend we went to the beach for the 4th of July. While there we ate at one of my all-time favorite restaurants – Mudcat Charlie’s. It’s a quaint seafood restaurant that sits right on the water – I mean you can literally ride the boat there to eat (and we have several…

Ham and Cheddar Cheese Roll-Ups

Deli meat is easy. But for a baby who doesn’t necessarily do well with a big floppy piece of meat, it is sometimes a bit of a puzzle. Like trying to eat a blanket. Not the simplest lunch idea out there. But warming up some deli meat with a bit of cheese on it, and…

Edible Paper–Nori

Anneliese likes to eat paper. She tears apart my magazines with her teeth (when I let her), LOVES tags from items of clothing or other new stuff, and has sucked on a bunch of my business cards (which I can’t pass out after that, obviously). So I figured I’d give her some edible paper! Nori…

More spoon work

Mmmm, delicious

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

spoon2

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…

Oatmeal goodness

IMG_6108.jpg

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…
