Age-8 mths
Bottles- 24-26oz
Solids- still a mix of purees and finger foods. E finally got on board with avocado.
Comments- don't want to jinx this but I think the spit up may finally be slowing down.
Candy- almond joy. I am hoping L doesn't get any in bag this year so that I don't have to try to restrain myself. Still trying to lose about 8-9lbs of baby weight. Much harder getting it off the second time around.
I can't think of a adult food/beverage. My friend did make a great spiked apple cider the other weekend.

Age: 9m on Sunday! Happy 9m to your DS 2mrsks (mrs&mrsk) !

Formula amt: 18-20oz

Solids share: B&D meals most days. L as well when it works out between naps/bottles.

Comment corner: We do mostly finger foods, and it's usually whatever I am having. I struggle with lunch though since what I'm eating isn't always baby friendly. Ideas?

NBR GTKY: I love Reese's, but will treat my self to those randomly through out the year. The one candy I love that I never buy but love when it shows up at Halloween is Crispy Crunch!

Bonus: Eh, boring over here. I can't remember the last Halloween party I attended.

A little late (tuesday)
Age: 9 months on this upcoming Saturday

Formula amt: 5oz x 2 and 6oz x 3 to equal approx 28oz/day

Solids share: finger foods primarily with applesauce or fruit puree in am and veggie puree in pm. I have been starting lunch this week.

Comment corner: all of a sudden Effie eats everything! She used to be picky with food and bottles but now she eats all the food offered and downs her bottle. I feel like it is too much but I don't know. We go to the pediatrician next week so I will talk with her about it.

NBR GTKY: Favorite (Halloween) candy - almond joy.

Bonus: Favorite Halloween drink or food, for those you that have adult parties to attend. Adult parties? What's that?

taberbtb if what I'm having for lunch isn't baby friendly, I'll usually steam some broccoli &/or carrots in the microwave and give that to DS. That's assuming I don't have any leftovers in the fridge that I can give him - even if there's not enough left over from dinner to feed an adult, there's usually enough for a baby. I also make a big batch of oatmeal once a week, so he gets that for lunch sometimes (we don't do breakfast yet). Also whatever fruits we have handy (bananas, watermelon, avocado.) Sometimes puffs or mum mums. Once I intro eggs, I imagine a scrambled egg will be my go-to nothing to feed baby lunch. Not all this at once- I try to offer 2-3 foods per meal.

tl;dr- baby lunch is leftovers or whatever I can scrounge together. He gets protein at dinner every night so I'm not really concerned if he doesn't at lunch.

lilyelayne How do you feed the watermelon? I was thinking of trying it tomorrow. I have a feeling that it could get messy!

It is messy! The first time I gave any to DS, he couldn't figure out how to hold it and it got squished everywhere. Gave it to him again the next day and he figured out how to be gentle.

I give in sticks or wedges. Ehhh half an inch thick? 3 inches long? Seeds removed if it's got them. Inch square chunks may work too. Haven't tried dicing it, but he's good at taking bites so I like giving him soft foods in large sections so he can continue to practice that.

Sorry for the huge pic but you can see his piece here:

Do you follow me on insta? I think I posted a vid of watermelon a month or so ago.

[lilyelayne]

Scratch that. Well sorta. It's a video of him gagging on watermelon. You don't get to see him take the bite though.

[GeekBeagle]

lilyelayne Thanks for the info! We'll see how it goes!
