Here is Jack at 51 weeks old…
(January 17, 2013)
It got very cold for Los Angeles this week and so we spent a lot of time bundled up. Jack’s cousin Sierra made him a warm hat when he was born with his initials on it. It finally fits and helped keep his ears warm.
After just over a week of great sleep, we reverted back to night wakings. I hope it’s because he’s so excited to be turning one?
Jack is a pretty good eater. For breakfast he loves scrambled eggs and bananas. For lunch, a pouch is his favorite. I feel like he is getting bored with the limited options he gets. If any of you fellow moms would like to share your kids’ favorite foods and snacks I would be grateful, especially things that are simple to pack for daycare.
Jack now has 6 teeth. Four on the top and the two on the bottom. The fourth tooth on the top right is showing through, but hasn’t fully dropped into place yet. Jack is drooling so much that sometimes I put a bib on all day so he doesn’t go around all wet.
Jack is still practicing his walking skills with his favorite walker toy. It makes him so happy.
Baby+walker+beanie hat+hooded sweatshirt:
One more week and he’ll be a toddler.

Love the beanie hat! Can’t wait to see the one-year pics…happy birthday, sweet boy!!
So cute! Snacks… Graham crackers/goldfish… Peas… Peanut butter if you’re okay with that at this stage… pasta… I’m having a hard time remembering back “that far”… :). Those pouches are good because they pack in the fruits and vegetables. Also yogurt is always a good go-to snack…
Happy birthday, Jack! I’m pretty late to this post, so Jack may have a whole new food repertoire by now, but a few favorites at our house:
Sweet potato fries: I peel and cut them in chunks, toss in olive oil, sprinkle on cinnamon and cook at 400 for 30 minutes. Jacob can’t get enough.
Flaxseed/quinoa flour/buttermilk pancakes: Super hearty, healthy and surprisingly tasty (and easy). I make a big batch once in a while and then freeze them. PERFECT for daycare and one of J’s favorites. I can send you the recipe if you want!
Orzo with sauteed spinach over the top. Fun for little fingers.
Bread and hummus
Carrot slices, cooked soft, sometimes with a little cinnamon
I also make a really simple couscous dish with tofu, spinach and mild curry (powder) that Jacob usually likes (he’s just recently started to get pickier — boooo). I’m happy to send you that recipe, too!
