What to Feed Them....

I've been loving the freedom of feeding H & H the food we eat. They have an occasional bit of baby food every now and again...but for the most part, they are eating "us" food and taking their 3-4 bottles a day.

With 3 meals and a snack or two.....I find myself looking for creative ways to get them all the vitamins, nutrients and varity that they need without being too boring.

Here's a great list that we've used for ideas. So many friends with kiddo's the same age....it's great to get new food ideas for these hungry little monsters!

*1. cubed banana rolled in puffed rice cereal

*2. spears of oven-baked sweet potato *3. ripe, cup-up mango

*4. cereal bars, broken into small pieces (Total mess…..but they love it)

*5. pieces of string cheese (I do small cubes)

*6. cooked corn kernels

7. small squares of tofu

*8. diced kiwi

*9. diced pieces of well cooked carrots

*10. tiny bits of meatballs
