The Horowitz family had a lovely Shabbat, thank you very much! On the menu? A delicious and vibrant piece of wild sockeye salmon. And this was not just for the mommy and daddy :)
We decided it was time for Dalia to taste something very different from her usuals (mango, banana, apple, grape, blueberry, cherry, egg yolk, brown rice, oatmeal, flax seed, wheat germ, asparagus, broccoli, and acorn squash--the list goes on and on). We cut up her little piece of salmon and placed in on her tray. Within seconds her little exploring hands were maneuvering the pieces with serious determination. SUCCESS! She looked at us with a huge smile as she placed several of her fingers (and the small piece of fish) in her mouth.
She really enjoys feeding herself these days and it is great to see her learning this very important skill.
Now what could top off a meal of amazing fish?
Well #1: prunes (boy Dal has been having poo issues) and #2: a piece of North Shore Kosher Bakery's challah:
Talk about a great night!
the munchki I babysit for has poo issues too. her parents said that the Dr. told them to cut out apples and bananas and increase sweet potato and anything green that she likes, so far it works, and I've been giving her watery bottles (she pretty much refused the breast after 4 months), to keep her better hydrated in the dry heat of Colorado (she's a sweaty baby when she's strapped in the seat for an hour to get to my house on her mom's way to work)
