I am so excited about this giveaway! About two months ago, before I started experimenting with solids for Penelope, I ordered this bib in Dots Blue. I LOVE it! I like that it is long sleeved, because Penelope likes to paint her body with food more than putting it in her mouth, and the pocket in the front catches pieces that don't make it in her mouth (and 80% does not make it in!). It can double as an art smock as well. AND it's made by an American company, and the fabric is organic! Couldn't ask for a better product.
Mimi the Sardine sent me the Messy Baby Bib, in the Jungle print, great for a boy or girl. So to enter, tell me your favorite baby eating memory so far, in the comment section. Share the giveaway on facebook by clicking "like" below, or tweet the giveaway, then leave another comment each time letting us know for an additional entry. Entries will close at midnight July 11th (Penelope's 8 month birthday!) and a winner will be randomly selected.
I'll start: My favorite memory so far, is the very first time Penelope tasted a food. She was about 5 months old and was grabing and holding onto everything she could get her little hands on. I was chopping up vegetables for dinner and she was in her bumbo on the counter, watching. She started to get fussy, but I wasn't done chopping vegetables, so I gave her a big slice of red pepper to keep her entertained. She immediatly put it in her mouth. Then, she looked up at me, her eyes wide in amazement. Her face was priceless! It was if she was saying, "Oh. My. God. There are other tastes in the world other than breast milk!" She was in shock!
The first time the Imp (our middle son) tasted hummus. His eyes lit up and he exclaimed "Mmmm!"
ReplyDeleteA close runner up would be each and every time I tell him we're having taco meat for dinner (he doesn't eat the shells). It's like I've told him the best news ever - he gets so excited.
I don't have many "feeding" stories yet, since we just stared solids, but my LO was absolutely hilarious when he tried bananas for the first time last week. Once he got the hang of it, he would fuss if I didn't get more banana to his mouth fast enough. He was so excited by the new texture and flavor! Priceless!
ReplyDeleteShared of FB! I know some of my momma friends will be checking it out :-)!
ReplyDeleteI think the best part of my daughter eating is when she tries a new food and loves it. I have a picky husband and am very happy when she asks for healthy food.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the memories. My first baby is on the way.

Frozen pureed blueberries on the front porch. All over her, all over me and she was all smiles, so was I :)
ReplyDeleteI share your blog often on FB... Claire's first taste of food, was organic avocado. I gave her a slice, and she looked a bit confused at first... But ate it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite wa when my mother in law decided to feed cottage cheese to my daughter (I HATE cottage cheese). My munchkin made the funniest face and spit it back at her. I laughed. :)
ReplyDeleteOur little one's first eating experience was a hoot - food all over (and I mean all over) him and basically needing a bath after it was done!! It is something we will not soon forget!

ReplyDeleteryan's first time trying to feed himself milk and cereal. oh boy. from trying to figure out how much muscle strength to use to scoop the cereal to getting the spoon in his mouth, a mess was made on the floor AND the wall. i suppose if i ever win a spillmat, it can double as a 'wallmat'; but a messy baby bib will be awesome right about now!

My favorite thing my LO does is eat pickles. She loves them, but the salty/tart flavor makes her make a funny face. So it's bite, funny face, bite, funny face! So cute. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHappy 8 months, Penelope! Our child hasn't been born yet, so my favorite baby eating memory comes from watching my husband with one of our little nieces. He had a neat trick of making the food go in her mouth by pretending to be a little space ship. The little niece loved it!

So many fun moments when feeding Mr. Gabriel. He LOVES water. One time I was giving him some out of a big boy cup he threw his arms up and to the side in excitement while drinking and dribbling all over himself. SO funny and cute!
ReplyDeleteNot sure I could think of just ONE favorite eating moment, but one of couple would be the first time he noticed the pickle my husband was eating... Nick thought he would hate it, but he tasted it, then grabbed his Daddy's/Nick's hands & shoved the pickle back in his mouth! He was fighting with him to make sure he kept eating it! And, I HATE pickles, but it was so cute!! :)
ReplyDeleteJust shared the info on FB! I know it's last minute, but since I just found out... maybe another mama will head over, too! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved reading all your stories! They make me smile!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't heard from our winner Kelsey...
