Nutrition


Mason is almost 9 months! I can't believe he has been now been outside of my body a month longer than he was inside of it. What a difference a year and a half can make.

My aunt commented this week that she is amazed at what Mason will eat (her youngest is super picky) and it got me to thinking that he really has had quite a variety of foods in 4 short months of eating solids...
  • Bananas
  • Apples
  • Pears
  • Mangoes
  • Tomatoes
  • Avocados
  • Plums
  • Peaches
  • Nectarines
  • Strawberries
  • Honeydew melon
  • Cantaloupe
  • Watermelon
  • Raspberries
  • Blueberries
  • Figs (his FAVORITE)
  • Spinach
  • Yellow Squash
  • Zucchini
  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Potatoes
  • Carrots
  • Broccoli
  • Pumpkin
  • Oatmeal
  • Brown rice
  • Egg yolk
  • Lentils
  • Split peas
  • Fish
  • Chicken
  • Cheese
  • Yogurt
  • Whole wheat bagel/bread

The best part is that so far there is nothing he refuses to eat. Of course he prefers apple sauce and yogurt over lentils or squash, but who doesn't? He is his mommy's baby and loooves his fruit. I know we need to expose him to more meat and get some beef in his diet-- any other suggestions? What foods am I missing? We are still making our own baby food and so much of the produce this summer came right out of Grandpa Flint's garden. Sooo yummy and completely organic.

We are definitely counting ourselves lucky to have such a great eater!

So, what else can I feed a 9 month old???
