Our Feeding Journey: Stage 3 Wins

It’s been awesome to watch Scarlett grow up over the past year.  Recently, I’ve noticed an “awakening” in her personality.  She takes notice of much more, even the tiny details I might not be paying attention to, like the dog across the room, or the furry puppet on the top of the store shelf.  She’s getting so smart, so aware and even more bubbly.  I’m seeing her wants and requests come to the surface, and that includes when she’s sitting in the high chair!  

As we come to a close on “stage 3” of our feeding journey, I’m noticing some differences in Scarlett’s behavior.  For the first time, she’s being dismissive of foods she has either tried before or that she has not yet experienced.  Others are being scarfed up as soon as they hit the tray.  Scarlett’s personality is shining through and taking root.  

Exploring our Apple, Strawberry and Beet Homemade Recipe stage 3

I made a short video to share with you what my biggest successes and concerns have been over the past three months, and I think my fellow parents out there will echo them.  I’m also speaking on the similarities and differences between my first child and my second, as well as the influences they have on each other, which I totally didn’t expect at Scarlett’s young age.  

If you watched the video and want to try some of the recipes I mentioned, find my Beech-Nut copycat Apple, Strawberry and Beets puree here as well as my Butternut Squash, Black Bean and Cumin recipe for Taco night!  What have been your moments of happiness and success with your babies?

I am very pleased to mention that I am working with Beech-Nut for 2016 as a sponsored ambassador, sharing Scarlett’s journey to solid foods and shedding some light on the Baby’s First Foods process.  Come and share a bite to eat!

    The toddler stages are so tricky when it comes to food. It really is all over the place in a matter of seconds!

    She is growing up too fast! My kids seemed to skip straight to the toddler foods. They enjoyed them more.

    Getting the kiddos to eat at that age can either be super easy or an exercise in frustration. I’m glad you’re having success!

    She’s so sweet. I’m excited to be getting ready to start solids with my new baby. I can’t wait to see what kind of water he will be. He’s showing so much interest in our plates already.

    My granddaughter has just been given the okay to start solid foods and we have been using Beechnut Stage 1 foods. They seem to be really high quality.

    It’s crazy that they start developing preferences so early on. I’m glad the purees have helped you give Scarlett a balanced diet!

    My kids have different favorite foods as they grow up. So, it’s more of trial and error for us. But I love that they love to try new foods.

    This takes me back to when the kids started eating solids! It’s really challenging and exciting for moms especially if you make homemade baby food.

    This post reminds me so much of my son a year ago. He is a fun explorer and not a picky one.

    It’s amazing how quick kids develop their taste preferences….but they do change over time. I remember when my son was a baby he HATED ice cream – now he loves it!

    She is such a cutie! I can’t believe how big she has gotten! My girls started to decide what they liked and didn’t like about that age too.
