Mom on a mission


I'm blessed. Truly blessed that I have a baby who will eat almost everything....black beans, pickles, lemons...you name it. Well, I should say, I HAD a baby who would eat. Walking has changed my 11 month old perspective. He still devours many many things...but now is sitting at a small table and LOVES to get up and walk away. He can move the chair back and get down to explore the cherry pieces on the floor. He can watch the effect of gravity on his water glass. Rowan has never used a bottle and from the time he was 4 months old has been drinking out of glass. I'm a Montessorian by nature and by training so the idea of a highchair was just so wrong to me. I try to make his meals seasonal and organic while covering all his necessary vitamins. Enter eating the rainbow! The above pic was taken in his traveling seat and is comprised of green beans (steamed) shredded beets- fresh, whole wheat penne, broccoli and cheese focciacia and nasturium flowers. Rowan is a little boy who exudes health!
