Self-feeding a healthy breakfast- Apple Oats Cereals

Self-feeding a healthy breakfast- Apple Oats Cereals

“They say fingers were made before forks and hands before knives.”   -Jonathan Swift

My little cutie pie turned 14 months and now going through so many incredible changes. It’s an amazing age, yet exciting too. Her favorite foods right now are: yogurt, oats, avocados, sweet potato, beans, lotus seeds, baby carrots, apples (we can’t eat anything without sharing with her anymore……she eyes us until we give her some). She loves to self feed and you can see food all over her hair, clothes, in the nose, behind her ears. Don’t try to be a cleanliness savvy mom, let her (them) mess and  see how they enjoy, fill up their little tummies, and enjoy and  explore food.

Let go of the need to be neat.
