Happy Friday!!!
Today on the blog I wanted to share my 18 month favorites with y’all!!! I cannot believe my baby boy is such a toddler already.. thank goodness I have a cure to my baby fever coming this June :)
Okay so as Jax grows we are obviously storing away some of our more “ babyish” items.. He is SO independent and SO busy.. this kid has me spent by like 4:30...
1. Oxo Tot Feeding: Okay so this is my absolute favorite brand when it comes to feeding your toddler/baby. The bibs are catch all and can EASILY be wiped down.. so I mean thats about as good as it gets right? The zippy cups are great - never spill- and have a lid. We also like the munchkin 360 spoutless but these are our favorite right now. The bowls are awesome because they have a weighted bottom so they won’t slide everywhere and also come with lids so you can double them as a food storage! LOVE Oxo Tot.
2. Give us all the Mickey Mouse: Jax is completely obsessed with his pal Mickey. My mom ahem Santa.. brought J a complete Mickey themed Christmas.. all these wonderful Melissa and Doug brand toys that are very educational. He plays with them daily!! I thought I would share because as a former teacher.. I love a toy that can teach!
3. SPRING CLOTHES: We could not be more ready for spring around here. With this unusual winter spell we have had going on I have been doing a TINY bit of online shopping for Spring Stuff.. Janie and Jack has the CUTEST stuff for Easter!!! They offer a lot of Promo codes at the top of their website so don’t forget to get that additional % off!!!!
4. FOOD: Jax has been getting in both sets of K9 teeth so food has not been his strong point. I have been encouraging a lot of soft foods to help with the pain as well as rotating tylenol and motrin. I hate when our babies are in pain!! Anyways when it comes to food he has his favorites and still tries a variety of food. Here is a typical meal plan for Jax
Breakfasts:
*Kodiak cake with almond butter and berries
*Oatmeal with peanut butter, chia seeds, agave nectar ( tiny bit), and berries
*Eggs, berries, avocado
*Peanut butter toast with bananas sprinkled with cinnamon
*Yogurt with added berries and buttered toast
Lunches:
* Home made hummus with cucumber and bite sized chicken ( usually whatever leftover meat we have) with fruit and cheese stick
* Applegate chicken nuggets with Annies Mac n Cheese, Fruit
* Peanut butter toast ( if he doesn’t have it for breakfast) with fruit and a cheese stick
* Mini PB&J sandwiches.. (we use tiny cookie cutters to cut them into bite sized shapes), Fruit
Dinners:
*Meatballs ( VEGGIES VEGGIES VEGGIES!! SNEAK ‘EM) he doesn’t “ notice” spinach and zucchini a lot so those are my sneakiest ones :) with a side of sweet potato
* Ground beef and whole grain rice- I try and make a simple “ stir fry” and either put some chicken or ground beef in his rice along with an egg for extra protein. He chows down. I love to use brown rice and he doesn’t seem to notice but you could always add white if that is what you have on hand.
* Grilled Cheese bites with home made hummus and veggies
* Veggie Quesadillas with fruit
* When all else fails I will do breakfast for dinner or a smoothie :) Smoothies are great. I always add whole milk, yogurt, peanut butter, spinach,chia seeds, and whatever fruit I have on hand. HE loves strawberry bananas. I tell him it’s ice cream!! HAHA!
5. FOOTWEAR:
This kid is on the GO!!! He loves to run and play therefore needing good sturdy shoes to support his busy feet :) I am still all for style but know that there needs to be a balance of that and support for his foot. I will link our favorite shoes below.
