Baby vs. Spoons

I got a little emotional at the check-out when I bought Baby Girl's first spoon. I know a spoon is not a cell phone or car keys. However, it is a sign that my Little One is growing up! 

Sleek lines, bold colors, and simplistic designs are some of my favorite qualities of modern baby gear. Some infant products deserve to be on display at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and not covered with cereal. These spoons are no exception.  

Baby Girl loves the soft tips on these spoons and chews them while she eats.

About Me

I'm a mom for the first time ever.

I love my daughter so much it's silly.

I have been thinking about starting a blog for the past few years. I was going to start a blog when I moved to Kansas City 2 years ago. I was going to blog my pregnancy. My Baby Girl is now 6 months old. 

As the solid food adventures grew closer I found myself asking women at the grocery store, the library, church, and the farmer's market what foods I should try and what I should avoid. I don't think I am the only first time mom with food questions. So what better way to learn and share my findings than on a food blog for babies! I am making Baby Girl's food myself attempting to be organic and natural and all that jazz. Some foods will be a hit and some will be a huge miss. Roll up your sleeves this will be a messy ride!

Baby vs. Brown Rice Cereal

This was Baby Girl's first experience with solid food. She liked it! It is so fun watching her experience even the simplest things for the first time. I think she liked the spoon most of all! I like this recipe because it is using brown rice instead of the traditional white. Utilizing your coffee grinder to make baby cereal is such a great idea! Make sure to clean it out really well! No caffeine for baby!

The Recipe:

1) 1 TS Short Grain Brown Rice: I got mine in bulk at Whole Foods.

2) 1 cup Water

3) A splash of BM or Formula if desired

With an Electric Coffee Grinder finely chop your rice into a flour. In a small sauce pan boil water and rice flour for 10 minutes. Stir frequently. Pour in a small bowl and stir mixture to allow to cool. I also would add a little cold water to thin the cereal. Add a splash of BM or formula for flavor.

Baby Wins!
