Year 5, Day 39

Miles almost always leaves the house with some sort of food in the mornings but almost always neglects to actually eat it. Sometimes he just zones out and forgets, while other times (such as today) he takes one bite and says, "UGH, yucky!" Either way, I hate wasting food, and so the fate of these … Continue reading Year 5, Day 39 →

Year 2, Day 357

I don't particularly enjoy grocery shopping. The best relationships, though, are ones where one partner makes up for the weaknesses in the other.

Miles is definitely a fan of sweet potatoes, while avocado will likely require some "jazzing up" before he'll revisit … Continue reading Day 186: Daddy’s First “Not My Son” Moment! →

Day 179

After sucessfully(ish) introducing Miles to sweet potatoes this week, we decided to try avocado. Results were...well, they weren't great.

Day 174: Baby Tries Vegetables for the First Time!

We took another big step forward in Miles's march towards meat consumption today, giving him pureed vegetables for the first time. We decided sweet potatoes were the way to go, mixing them with some breast milk and blending it all in our Nuk Baby Food Maker. He did, in fact, eat most of it with … Continue reading Day 174: Baby Tries Vegetables for the First Time! →
