food


that is an avocado pit. we let him lick the avo off. he's not eating the pit.

how about a baby to put your food issues under a magnifying glass?! and all other issues while we are talking about it. it's true. another surprising thing you learn as a new mom.

this is henry's fourth meal. we started with pears and went on to avocados. he likes neither yet. the texture is freaking him out. i read about baby led weaning and so far, i have been able to avoid pureeing. yippee! and boy has this all been baby led. i looked over at brunch at our house last sunday and henry had a pear in his hand he had taken from the fruit bowl. he was on michael's lap. and he had taken a bite or two. he gummed it. so we started feeding him then.

they SURE do bring your own personal issues to the forefront!!! And I like the baby led thing....I think as a parent it forces ME to try to not push MY own agenda on Liv ...

I thought I commented on this! Henry looks so cute in this picture! It sounds like he's a good eater, so far. I always worry that I will get so fat feeding my kid one day. When I would nanny, I would always eat off the kid's plate. I hated wasting all that food!

Where'd you go? Maybe someplace pretty? Hope everything is alright! : O )

just got busy i guess. not inspired. it's a little bit of groundhog day around here.
he is eating mashed up stuff. so far,i am not having any desire to eat it. plus it's about a teaspoon full.
i am so motivated to feed him healthy foods i hope it rubs off on the whole family you know?
