Joshua’s First Birthday

First Fish

Baby Food Tip of the Day

Frozen blueberries are much easier to peel than fresh ones. Roll them around with your thumb and forefinger in a bowel of warm water and skin just falls right off. The warm water makes the outside pliable, while the center is still cold enough to keep form. perfect for finger food, and I bet it feels great on those tooth-preparing achy gums.

Waste not! I keep those antioxidant rich dark skins and throw them in a blender with some cooked brown rice. Add a little water or breastmilk to serve baby a yummy, healthy milkshake.
