Baby food

A bunch of people have asked me lately what Nora eats, now that she's a big girl. Since she never really ate baby food (either jarred baby food or homemade purees), she's been eating big people food for a long time now. But here's what she had today - it was pretty typical.

Breakfast:

• ~1/2 cup peach yogurt (plain full-fat yogurt mixed with pureed peaches that we picked and froze last summer, and a dash of cinnamon)
• 2 mini carrot muffins
• a ripe pear, sliced but not peeled

Lunch (a picnic at the park with three friends and their mamas!):

• 1/4 of a whole wheat bagel
• ~1/2 an avocado, chunked up
• ~2 oz sharp cheddar cheese, cut into fingers
• close to half a cantaloupe, chunked up. Mama stole a few bites, but Nora ate most of it!

Snack:

• another 1/4 whole wheat bagel

Dinner:

• 1/2 a very large zucchini, corn, and black bean enchilada (yum!)
• ~1/4 cup plain rice

She drank about 12 oz of water throughout the day, and nursed twice, and also drank about 3 oz of pumped breastmilk. She's a great eater - she rarely rejects anything outright, though she does have definite preferences, and she loves vegetables and fruit. Hopefully she doesn't get too picky as she gets older!
