I love Broccoli!

Fae has been eating solid food for a little over two months now. In addition to broccoli, she has recently had tofu, chicken (boiled and pureed), asparagus and mango.

Say WHAT!?!?!?

Tummy time

Shirt says it all!

Fae has two teef!

Fae's two lower teeth have cut. We noticed them at approximately 6 and 1/2 months.

New Foods: Acorn Squash, Blueberries and Oatmeal

We have started making Fae's food from fresh or frozen organic vegetables. Recently she has tried acorn squash, sweet potatoes and peas. All were cooked and then pureed before being frozen into baby cubes. She gets one of these veggie cubes with her brown rice at breakfast and lunch! The brown rice we make from organic short grain brown rice (from Whole Foods), ground fine in a coffee grinder and cooked for 10 minutes.

Fae has tried oatmeal and seems to like it. In fact, she seems to like everything she's tried!

A new combination that seems to work is the Earth's Best Apples & Blueberries. We use that as her in-between meal snack.

Laying in the hammock

The weather has changed, it's a beautiful warm Saturday. What a great day to lay in the hammock and chew on a cell phone.

 

Bath time sitting up!

Fae and Missy

Fae has been sitting on her own for a week or so, tonight was the first time we captured it on camera. We'll try and get a video of it soon.

Give me your wine!

 

6-month appointment with Evil Dr. Pediatrician...

New food this week: Peas

Eating solid food (happily)

Fae has been partially on a solid food diet since about mid-March (around 5 months.) Since then, we have gotten her to eat:

rice cereal
bananas
pears
applesauce (organic: apples, water, ascorbic acid/vitamin c)
NEW: squash!

We currently have her eating 3 meals a day: breakfast 8am, lunch 12pm and dinner 7pm!

She is still on breastmilk and takes 3 bottles during the day with her nanny, Jackie. I still breastfeed in the morning (7-8am) and evening (5-6pm, 9pm, midnight.)

I just went wild at the grocery store and bought her a bunch of those 4 oz jars of 1 ingredient baby food: sweet potatoes, peas, squash, green beans and carrots. These will be introduced gradually over the next month or so with strict observance of the 4-day rule (trying a food out for 4 days before moving on to the next!)

I also have all the equipment to start making the babyfood fresh to freeze it at home, but I figured I try all this out to see what she likes first before doing that. I'd hate to make a big batch of peas or green beans only to find out that should won't touch it.
