Snack Time!

We have been having lots of fun around here trying out all kinds of new snacks.  Ryder has become really good at chewing lately…even with absolutely no teeth!  I just know he’s going to be getting one any time now, so in the mean time we’ll keep practicing this whole eating thing.  By the time his teeth finally pop through, he’s bound to be a professional :-)

Besides all the Stage 2 food combinations, Ryder has started snacking on this:

*PUFFS*

I was so nervous about giving him one of these, in fear that he would choke on it, but he caught on really fast!  He even amazed me by actually being able to feed them to himself!  Sometimes it takes him a couple tries to get it in his mouth, but once it’s in there he starts chewing, it’s the cutest thing.

*Carrot Sticks*

'I actually got this idea from Lindsay's husband Nick…he told me that his Mom used to give them Carrot sticks to chew on when they were teething…good idea Sonia!  It’s the perfect snack, Ryder gnaws on it and drools like crazy!

*Frozen Fruit*

This has to be one of my favorite creations that they have made for babies.  It is shaped like a pacifier but has a mesh bag on the end, so you can stick anything inside of it and let the baby chew on it without having to worry about them choking.  Ryder eats frozen banana’s, apples, watermelon, and grapes out of it…sometimes I just simply put an ice cube in it and he absolutely loves it!

Oh and of course, we can’t forget about this snack…you didn’t think he’d forget about these, did you?!
