Eating off the menu for the first time

Baby led weaning in restaurants

Recently we took Blake out for his first meal where we were to pick something for him to eat from the menu.  This was a huge deal for me.  I have spent months making absolutely everything he eats myself, from scratch but my husband and I decided it was time to take him out into…

Kynlee Tries (& LOVES) Sushi

Sushi!!!

This post will be short and sweet. About 1.5 months ago (yeah, I’m late posting) Kynlee tried sushi for the first time! She loved it.
