Good Bye, Purees!


Kenzie decided that her pureed baby food was for the birds. So, we've been playing around with all sorts of table foods. At first, she enjoyed chewing them to mush and promptly spitting it ALL back out. At least she increased her bottles from 6 ounces to 8 ounces to make up the difference. Well, yesterday and today, she's been chewing and swallowing!


Yesterday's menu went like this( In addition to 32 ounces of formula) Water with each meal.




Breakfast: 1 yo-baby yogurt and a handful of Cheerios's.





AM snack: Baby baked goldfish





Lunch: pasta w/ grated fresh Parmesan cheese, green beans, and a bit of fruit cocktail





PM snack: Some fresh blueberries, watermelon, cantaloupe pieces.





Dinner: Beef Stew and Fruit cocktail. I made homemade stew and I gave her the sauce and veggies and potatoes(the beef was a bit too tough for her). She ate quite a bit of it!




So, here's the issue. I need healthy food suggestions! For dinner tonight we're having shrimp so she obviously cannot have that so I think I'll make her some pasta-pickups and she can have the other sides. I also need suggestions for soft, healthy foods that are easy to travel with for when we're on the go.


Thanks!
