Baby loves lentils!

baby led weaning pasta

Today was one of those days where no amount of MMP (Mummy’s Military Planning) would make things go smoothly and follow the schedule I’d set out in my head.  We missed the 4pm deadline when the supermarket closes to do this week’s big shop.  It meant I had very limited food in the fridge and…

Quinoa With Beets

P1100944

This is a picture from a month or so ago, shortly after we started BLW with Baby J. You’ll notice he’s sitting in a bumbo chair…this was taken before he could sit up unassisted. As I mentioned in our introduction post, because J had all the other readiness signs we started BLW once he could…

Applesauce and Rice Cake

P1100886

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….

Finger sandwiches with homemade strawberry jam

This is a typical bite

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…

Greek-inspired chicken with cucumber yogurt sauce

Sebastian munches on a cucumber slice

Sometime last week my darling husband pulled together this meal: Rice with cucumber yogurt sauce, (spicy) chicken and veggies. Unfortunately I didn’t realize just how spicy this chicken was until I gave Sebastian a fat piece and he started grabbing at his mouth and crying. OOPS. Luckily there was plenty of rice and sauce to…

Oatmeal goodness

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…

Cheerios-Messy Floor!

Luckiest Lady

I have been a little busy with family visiting this month. But that doesn’t mean Kaitlynn hasn’t been eating. She has been. A whole lot. And I have a lot of posts I WANT to write up. But the time factor is against me. Not to mention school restarted for me, AND I will now…

Spaghetti Love

IMG_5463.jpg

Pri has had noodles before, and has had a few sauces on them but not spaghetti with tomato sauce. She LOVED it and made quite the mess. When I first gave it to her I just gave her the noodles the length that I was eating them (which made for great pictures and the video…

Buttermilk Biscuits

First taste of the biscuit!

On the evening of Kynlee’s 6-month birthday, she tried buttermilk biscuits! Earlier in the day she had her first two foods. We weren’t really planning to do any more foods that day but after supper we had a biscuit leftover and thought, “why not?” At first she went for the whole thing. Then she decided…

Baby-led Weaning at the happiest place on earth!

Quesadillas at All-Star Music

Earlier this week, Benjamin and I took a quick trip down to Disney to meet up with a friend. I intended to have many pictures of Ben eating at the Magic Kingdom, but as luck would have it, Ben wasn’t having food while we were there. That’s the trouble with baby-led weaning. It’s baby-led! And…
