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…
I put my baby on solid food last week! My baby – that teeny tiny thing that..oh! wait a sec.. he’s not that teeny tiny any more, huh? At 5 1/2 months to the day, M started his food exploration with a cucumber… And he’s since progressed to melons and figs, too they were fun!…
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…
One afternoon while M was napping, I decided to let Baby J have at it with a bowl of applesauce. I’m not sure he got a whole lot in his mouth, but he enjoyed playing with it! About halfway through I got the idea to break apart a rice cake and give him the pieces….
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,…
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…
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…
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 I tweeted that Anneliese was eating watermelon, I got a couple responses along the lines of, “What if she eats a seed??” and “I want to give my son watermelon but I’m afraid he’ll eat some of the rind!” I will ask you though – WHAT IF she eats a seed? Do you think…
Anneliese had just gotten her top teeth and was learning how to use them. She started biting, biting, biting, chipping off pieces of her food… and then promptly spitting them out. Watching her eat an apple was hilarious. (Note: This apple is peeled because it’s not organic, not because babies can’t deal with apple…
