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.
