On Sizes and Mr. Heinz

DS3 is learning sizes. We usually show him two objects and ask him which is bigger or smaller. Usually he knows. He pays close attention when we're talking ice cream or chocolates. Today, he came to me with some coins, and climb on my lap to show me. I took the opportunity to do a little learning.

Me: Ohh, you have money!
DS3: I have quarters.
Me: This is a penny (pointing to the 1 cent) and this is a nickel (pointing to 5 cents)!
DS3: I have coins.
Me: Yes you do! Which is bigger? This nickel or this penny? (I'm thinking he can learn sizes)
DS3: These are money!
Me: Yes, this is money. Which is bigger? This 5 cents or this 1 cent?
DS3: Quarters!
There you have our most elucidating conversation.

I was trying out Mr. Heinz Green Beans jar of food. I sometimes would taste my baby's food just to see what he's eating. I would sniff it to make sure it taste ok. This particular flavor was smoked. I thought how sweet of Mr. Heinz to add smokey flavor to the jar. I tasted it, and yuckity-yack! This one is burnt. I am thinking this batch was scorch and they made it into baby's first food anyway.

That's wasn't well done of Mr. Heinz, one of the most trusted First Baby Food the world over. This green beans smells burned, and tasted just as horrible! What were they thinking? That babies can't complain? Well, I can. I don't want to feed my baby burned anything.

I stopped buying baby food when I found (after tasting) that nearly all of them were bland and horrid!! I like taste in my food..And I want my girls to enjoy food that TASTES (unlike my MIL who eats and serves bland vile food). I ended up making theirs for them (mashed pumpkin for one it at least had taste)....

My mother told me that when I was a baby (as well as my sisters) she use to have to add salt and tomato sauce to baby food JUST to get us to eat the horrid bland stuff..So I guess I have always loved food with taste! lol).

Pureed Green beans by anyone is never good. They don't add flavor, trying to keep it as close to natural as possible but green beans unseasoned even whole are bland!

I gave Bella mashed fresh foods as much as I could but she loooooved the jar squash, peas and fruits. Except banana. May as well just mash that yourself!
