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…
I am a SAHM but as many of you know that is a full-time job in itself. Typically I don’t cook a big lunch; instead, we have quick lunches. That doesn’t mean it has to be frozen TV dinners that you just pop in the microwave. One of my “go-to” lunches for Kynlee, if…
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…
There’s a little berry farm near us, and they grow the best organic berries around. I picked up a basket of raspberries at the farmer’s market, and Anneliese and I went to town on them. It started off innocently enough… Anneliese wanted to be sure they could be trusted before diving in full-force. And within…
I bought some double cream Brie on sale, and was really excited to eat it. Anneliese of course wanted to try it, since I was eating it, and I was happy to oblige. The middle was a bit too runny for her to grab at, so I gave her a piece of rind that had…
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…
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…
This week marked our first couple of visits to the park with Sebastian and it has me pumped for summer. Outdoor eating is perfect for baby-led weaning. There is something so idyllic about packing a picnic basket and no cleanup is a HUGE bonus. On our first trip to the park – Sebastian’s first ever!…
A few weeks ago I made a Chicken & Broccoli (& cheese!) casserole. It was a last minute decision and I’d never made it before but I figured it’d be simple enough and (hopefully) delicious! I’m here to say that it was simple and it was delicious…and Kynlee thought so, too, apparently!… And…
Anneliese tried Ricotta cheese for the first time today. I used it in my family’s Easter pie recipe (a traditional Italian thing – meat and cheese pie) but the pie has eggs in it… and since I was allergic to egg whites as a baby, I am trying to wait to give them to her….
