New Foods

Over the weekend, we tested out some new foods for the little man.

Since it's that time of the year for awesome fruits and veggies we went and got lots of fruits:

cantaloupe

strawberries

blueberries

watermelon

bananas 

avocados

carrots 

greens 

and more greens

We tested out each and every one of these with Bentlee's taste buds. The winner was Cantaloupe. He chowed down, and i mean chowed down. He probably ate a whole one through the weekend. i blended some to make juice, and then he ate some as bites. He also loved the watermelon, and we made that into juice as well, and he drink a lot. 

As for the avocados, he loved as well.

Bananas we have been doing for a while and he absolutely loves those.

We mixed and blended strawberries and blueberries together for a yummy  DESSERT :)

As far as the greens and carrots, he was eating this in typical baby Gerber food, however not as good and nutritious so he seems to like the REAL stuff much better.

This is breakfast for him, Avocado, bananas, and eggs.  

The only thing now is trying to ween him off formula due to the "dairy milk-base products" 

I won't do soy because it is not good for baby boys, and not really good for babies.

I researched and talked to a girlfriend who does all this for her little girl and there are other options, goats milk, or at organic sections in a grocery or a whole foods market, they have a yogurt that is not milk based, and has no soy, but has coconut milk- MUCH BETTER.

Just us

The love for him is unexplainable. The moments with him are everlasting. The smile he gives is heart warming. The cry he cries is unselfish. The love he gives me is unconditional.

Blogger greatness

If you are keeping up with my posts, I have recently been changing my son's nutrition chart. My good friend, and my son's godmother and I have been researching and reviewing all the reasons, the ups and downs, etc on this "whole foods" process. And i must say i have never been more on board.. 


Here is a must read article on a blog we found that gave me all the more reason to continue this.

New read

The Shadow Effect
-Illuminating the hidden power of your true self.
BY: Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, Marianne Williamson.
Started this book today, excited for a new read, and to learn some new self peace, inner peace, self love, and most important to find the courage to let go of things that hold me back in life. 
I will continuously follow up with specific paragraphs and certain parts that stand out to me. I will post and write about each thing i find. Feel free to leave a comment. 

Nutrition

Today, i had a reason to think about better nutrition for my son. After a doctor visit we had, it seemed clear to me that there was no reason it could hurt anything to test out a food processor and get real with some fruits and veggies. I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and found one, rather cheap, and after went to Kroger and got some fruits to test it out.
It was the easiest thing to figure out, and without a doubt the best investment i have ever made. I processed bananas, apples, pears, and apples. I left some plain and mixed some up. Bentlee loved it. I have never seen him eat better.
Pictures to come and more info about finding new foods. I am so anxious to mix up some more foods.
All in all i am hoping this helps with allergies and better nutrition.
