Stazi has two teeth now. I am considering moving her up to three whole feedings a day. (Solid food feedings, I mean; she's still breastfeeding as much as her little heart desires, and it desires a lot.) We've exhausted the possibilities in whole-grain cereals; she's done amaranth, quinoa, barley, and brown rice. I've taken to combining them. The amaranth/quinoa/barley cereal with mashed banana that I made for breakfast the other day was a big hit with both kids.
She's had asparagus, which she seemed to like well enough, and green beans, which she did not. She's of course had sweet potatoes, and squash, which I am fond of mixing together with mango. She likes avocados, and can't get enough applesauce when it's on her plate. Tonight I'm thinking about doing peaches.
I admit I kind of missed having all the brightly colored cubes of frozen baby food in my freezer, after Zeke graduated to table foods. It's fun to be doing it again.
(This sort of entry, ladies and gentlemen, is why I have a separate blog for entries that hold absolutely no relevance or interest to those of you out there who don't know my kids or have kids of your own.)

More! More! This is why I read!
Have you tried couscous? I used to mix it with mashed pumpkin (your "winter squash") and tahini.

Boy did that bring back memories. My kids are 26, 24, and 22 and I made all of their baby food. Will never forget freezing all the different veggies and fruits in the little cubes. What fun that was. But now we are getting into the Grandma fun and that rocks too.

I enjoy reading all the little bits you write, whether it's about babies or not. Keep it up!
