Solid foods here we come

When we went to Olivia’s 4-month checkup, we got the green light from her doctor to start giving her fruit and veggie purees, not for actual sustenance, but just to introduce her to new textures and flavors.

And so began our journey to snack times and a huge increase in baby wipe usage.

Olivia’s Favorites

#1 Tropical fruits

So far Olivia loves all tropical fruits: bananas, mango, pineapple and kiwi!

#2 Green beans

Most kids will prefer the starchy veggies like carrots and sweet potatoes, but not Olivia. She goes gaga for green beans!

#3 Oatmeal

One of the messiest things you could possibly feed Olivia, but one of her favorites. Just mix it up with a little fruit puree and you have her attention!


“No thank you”s

Carrots, chicken, apple

Perhaps it’s the texture that weirds her out, but she makes such a wonderful face of disgust towards pureed chicken, carrots and plain apple sauce.
