My LO is 9 months old and we did BLW (because he acted like we were killing him by trying a spoon and purees). He's a decent little eater, but I sometimes feel like we hit a rut on food. I thought it would be nice to share what your LO ate today to get some ideas! I'll start:
Breakfast: Scrambled egg; slice of avocado
Lunch: Turkey & black bean meatballs; string cheese; butternut squash pouch
Dinner: Spaghetti Squash with pasta sauce; green beans

@Adira: all those pouches get expensive! Where do you get them?
nectarine / 2521 posts
@travellingbee: @cheert16: What are cheddar bunnies?
@Smurfette: With the turkey chili, do you just give the beans & meat, or is your LO able to use a spoon?
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@Tanjowen: she can use a spoon. Not sure if she uses it or her hands since it is at day care.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@travellingbee: Yes, I swear most of our grocery bill goes to those stupid pouches. We get them from Amazon now with the subscribe & save since we go through so many each week! Although normally he doesn't have this many because he goes to daycare and will actually eat the fruits and veggies they serve him.
hostess / papaya / 10219 posts
@Tanjowen: Snack crackers made by Annies http://www.amazon.com/Annies-Homegrown-Organic-Cheddar-Bunnies/dp/B001PIH3MY
@Adira: Yeah, we use amazon for them too. They are pricey.
Today for breakfast: Egg roll up with kale and mozzarella, banana and other fruits, milk
