Baby Food Chronicles - Part I (Prunes & Mac n Cheese)

We have decided to chronicle our attempts at baby food and merging into table food. Tonight our features of the day will be prunes and mac n' cheese.

The meal d'jour


Response after the first couple of bites.



Are you a mixer, a doubler or separatist? Meaning, when you have two foods do you a.)Mix the two foods together. b.)Put both on the same scoop but not mixed. or c.)One bite of each at a time. We are a doubler's and sometimes separatists. That's just how we roll!!

Not so sure after the first few bites. We were using the separatist method.


Pretty sure she would rather eat her bib than the food.


She will eat the prunes on their own but not the mac n' cheese. So, we decided to switch to the doubler method and it worked like a charm!! We figured out we have to hide the mac n' cheese in the prunes.

Apparently I wasn't feeding fast enough at this point.


Nose dive for the dropped prunes.


This is our new sippy cup. It is the Nuby Sport.


It's the first one she likes to use and pick up.


Closing with Cuteness



All in all, she liked the prunes and mac n' cheese but doubled up together. I think we (well she) will be having this meal again.

I had to laugh on this post. We have such an interesting combination each night for dinner for Joshua. Yet, he doesn't seem to mind that he is eating bananas then a bite of pancake, then a bite of oatmeal MIXED with apples and chicken. As long as he doesn't mind, I don't mind. I will have to look for that cup. I am trying to encourage a cup and thus far, he isn't getting the idea of sucking on the spout...

Prunes and Mac-n-Cheese...dinner of champions. Have some extra wipes on hand tomorrow:)

Gia says to just stick to the cookies-n-cream ice-cream...plenty of calcium and contains two of the most important food groups, chocolate and cookies. Mommy taught her well!!!

Funny post!!!

We're having to mix lately. The only way for me to get Gabriella to eat any meat at all any more is to mix it with applesauce. And if the pieces are too big, she'll spit the meat out.
