Time to Eat
FEED ME
There was the point when I discovered my little girl wasn’t squishy and still– that phase where we would just stand around, hover over her and gawk– wrapped tight in her blanket– staying in one place– content with whatever passed her vantage point. She started to notice the little things, she started to notice EVERYTHING. She started to notice food right away. About a week ago she hit this phase where she got really offended if anyone had the nerve to eat in front of her. Tessa was so curious about food right away. A reader here left some know it all super snarky comment about how we were assholes for letting her taste nasty oatmeal gruel for her first solid. We were assholes for letting that be her tip-toe into solid food land. SHAME!
SHAME!
SHAME!
Boobs are doing great. She still loves breast milk. And is eating just fine.
BUT…
She watches us carefully.
As soon as we sat her down with us at the table when we would eat, she watched, and now, it is completely obvious that she wants to be doing what we are doing. The narration if she was speaking would be: “I want that too.” This child just acts like she is the head of the table and has been asking to be passed the heavy gravy since day one. This little baby girl has been pounding her fists for tastes for some time now.
So it begins.
Cole has always been the charge in this new step. So for her she has been planning this new meal plan. AND. When you’re friends with a foodie like Gabi, we would be stupid not to ask her for some advice and help.
(This is a picture I took of Gabi one day when we were totally goofing around on a super lifestyles of the rich and famous location scout for a photo shoot. She was pretending that glass was full of Chateau Lafitte.)
Gabi and her main squeeze Jason were absolutely dear to Cole and I during the “all our old friends hate us, because we don’t go out anymore” portion of Cole’s pregnancy. The two of them had no problem with just making really delicious food and hanging out at home. It was during that time that we realized just how talented Gabi was at making simple uncomplicated meals and some of her dishes became staples in our weekly meal planning. She started taking pics of the meals, and she started her blog.
SO…
When it was time for Tessa to meet food. Cole said: ” I want to make baby food with Gabi.”
And so they did.
Last week Cole and Gabi got together and made a big full menu for Tessa. Cole had specific tastes for Tessa in mind, and Gabi created the combinations and techniques, and this is what they came up with…

P.S. Gabi kicked her blog off without a comment feature (smart girl) so please feel free to let her know what you think of Honest Fare and the baby food making here in the comment section. Thanks a bunch.
