7 Months Old


Z is 7 months old today! She has been crawling for over a month and pulling herself up for a few weeks. She's had a few bites of some solids- smoothies, strawberry, banana, maltomeal- but mostly she is just nursing. She has two little teeth. She's a happy baby and very anxious to be able to start running around with her sisters.

Solids

Doing baby led solids is SO MUCH easier than the way I fed E with cereal and baby food. I don't have to think about what to pack when we go out or remember to bring spoons or bother with pureeing foods. I've been feeding her whatever I'm eating that's healthy. Even if it's not soft enough, I just chew it up for her.

So far she's had:

Avacado
Banana
Apple
Carrot
Tomato
Falafel
Beans
Red pepper
Olives
Mushrooms
Green smoothie (spinach, berries)
Orange
Oatmeal
Pancake
Potato
Cucumber
Peas
Green beans
Plum

Green Smoothie for Baby



I was planning on doing baby-led solids with L, and I was totally ok with her not eating any solids until a year old. For the last few weeks she's been grabbing at my food, though. So, I've been giving her anything that I'm eating that's soft enough for her to eat. She's had banana, avocado, beans, and loves to suck the juice out of orange slices. Seriously, the oranges are like baby crack. She goes nuts over them and gets really mad if we take them away.

This morning I had a green smoothie with celery, spinach, pineapple, and banana. She kept grabbing at my cup, so I set her in E's seat and spoon fed her a little bit. I don't know if this really counts as baby-led, but whatever. I'm not doing cereal or food in jars or trying to feed her any certain amount each day. I'll just keep giving her whatever I'm eating that's soft enough for her or as she gets older I'll chew things up for her. In this case, the blender chewed it up.
