Day Two: Carrots, Apples, & Toast

Sunday's are always a bit hectic so Harper was mostly eating on the go!

TIP: Before we left this morning for church, I cut up some apple pieces and threw them in a small mason jar with a lid and threw that in her diaper bag. Then when we were out eating after church, I had something to give her just in case they didn't have anything there. Definitely helpful!

Setup: For the carrots, we did the same setup as yesterday. Bumbo, tray, bib, etc. When we went out to eat after church is when I gave her the apple piece and she was in a highchair with a bib and then for the toast she was just sitting on the couch, haha.

Process for Carrots: Steamed in the steamer until pretty soft (about 10 minutes), but not as soft as that sweet potato yesterday! Oh, and they were baby carrots, so they were perfectly sized.




Result: She did really good with them and could hold them well. She mainly just gnawed on them for a bit and then got bored. Over all it was good though!


Process for Apples: The same as pears, washed, cut, and given raw.





Result: Of course she enjoyed them and she got a few pieces off, but spit them out. She loved just sucking on them.


Process for Toast: Well her GiGi was eating a piece, so we just tore off a crust, no butter, and handed it to her.



Result: She really liked it, but she did get a huge chunk off that I had to fish out of her mouth! I think she would have done better with a more toasted toast, if you know what I mean.


Definitely a successful day!
