Spaghetti, Eggs, Juice, and more!

The is an update on our BLW that I have been meaning to do for a while!

Spaghetti:

Messy messy messy! haha! but so fun!

Process: noodles and a teeny bit of sauce, cut up into bite sized pieces and put onto her Bumbo tray. I also would put some on a baby spoon and let her feed herself with that too

Result: Harper loves the spaghetti and has had it I think two more times since the first time. Definitely a success!


Eggs:

Process: Scrambled eggs on her tray on her walker, very simple!







Result: Eh, Harper is not a big fan of eggs. She mainly squishes them up and throws them in the floor, haha!



Juice (Fruitables, Fruit and Vegetable juice):

Harper only gets breast milk and never drinks from a bottle so this was a little difficult and took a while for her to even figure out! haha! I tried a sippy cup at first, but that didn't work so I let her drink a little bit from a bottle and she definitely loved it! I will try to introduce the sippy too because I don't want Harper using a bottle at 12 months.

Oh and she didn't know how to hold it herself, since she has never had one, so I had to hold it for her haha!
She only drank about an ounce though ;)


Chicken and Rice:


Process:  Boiled chicken cut up into tiny pieces and cooked white rice





Result: The rice was a little too sticky and stuck to Harper's hands, face, legs, and everywhere else. She ate a few bites but not a whole lot at all. I think the stickiness threw her off a bit, haha!



Well those are the few new things Harper has had recently! BLW has been relatively successful recently even though she really still does not eat very much at all. :)
