Food Frenzy

Since we did allergy testing on Carter I have been much more relaxed about what foods to introduce to him. Today he had some fresh baked sprouted quinoa bread and loved it! He also ate about 1/4- 1/3 cup of sweet potatoes at dinner time. He is becoming quite a little foodie. He loves bananas, mango, watermelon, cantelope, korean melons, carrots, sweet potatoes - anything that is kinda mooshy already or that when cooked is easy to gum. I don't have to puree anything for him - he likes chunks that he can grab, squish and force into his mouth.

-I was really dreading solids with him - thinking, planning, preparing, yikes. But now that I know what not to feed him - it seems like anything goes.

Oh, I almost forgot -he had sweet potato cupcakes at Jaadyn's birthday party and couldn't get enough. Funny story = I made these sweet potato cupcakes from scratch - homemade sweet potato butter and all. Well, when I read the ingredients for the sweet potato butter I mistakingly interpreted apple cider (not sweetened) as apple cider vinegar (not sweetened). Goat cheese and honey frosting with apple cider sweet potato cupcakes made for a tart treat. My family loved them - the other kids - not so much! Even Doug liked them! When we discovered my mistake - I laughed harder than I have in a long time - a real cleansing laugh!
