Flavour Town continues to grow for the Turkettes with the recent addition of some great flavours and new discoveries! A not so great parenting first included the discovery that Abigail does not like or is possibly allergic to avocado! Thankfully this discovery happened before our big trip, but it has resulted in avocado being temporarily removed from the menu for the time being (sorry Molly, I know it was a favourite of yours!) One night after a great meal of avocados, Abigail "surprise" projectile vomited on her exersaucer. I use the term surprised to illustrate the lack of warning for the major amount of avocado that this child expelled from her little body! Furthermore, after she finished throwing up, she continued to play as if nothing had happened! A little while later she vomited again, but this time became rather upset. A full outfit change and a lot of comforting was required. After her nighttime bottle, she went down easy enough but then woke up crying. When I picked her up to comfort her, she proceeded to vomit all over us, three times in a row! Fun times!! We weren't entirely sure why she was vomiting, she didn't feel warm but when we went to take her temperature (another parenting first) we realized we didn't know how to use our digital thermometer. Okay...it's not really that hard, but when you're covered in vomit and worried about your kid, your problem solving skills tend to falter. So here is a great tip....know where all of your baby medication is and learn how to use your thermometer ahead of time so your stress levels are reduced when your baby does get sick!
Flavour Town has expanded for the girls and so has our ability to make more of our own food for the girls. Thanks to my friend Beth, the girls are going to give the protein chicken another shot, this time through a homemade chicken soup we made the other day! The girls have added a sweet potato/turkey combo to their food list so we are getting some protein in now! The girls have also successfully tried Apricots, Peaches, Pears and Apple Sauce. The apple sauce, likely due to its texture has caused Abigail to make some of the funniest faces. She actually shudders while taking a mouthful but then keeps coming back for more!
What Foods Our in Their Future?
We still haven't gotten around to trying zucchini yet, but we did just make a batch of our butternut squash! Now that the girls are approaching the 8 month mark, we are trying to introduce some finger foods. While the girls mostly played with the Cheerios on their tray, they did manage to eat a few of them one at a time! We still have to work on including more veggies, so maybe some beans in the near future, everyone loves the musical fruit! LOL
