It just keeps getting better
I decided to make crackers for Margo (yes crackers, more about that in a minute). Of course Solomon wants to help: "can I do that?", "can I do that?", "I want to do that!" After letting him make several hand prints in the dough I told him it was my turn to finish rolling out the dough. I then knocked the food processor dish off the counter along with blade inside. Sollie picked up the dish for me and I completely forgot about the blade. He started monkeying around and slipped off the table. At first I thought he was just crying because he bumped his toe, then I saw the blood. So of course he landed right on the blade and cut his toe, pretty deeply but we managed to get the bleeding (and crying) stopped.
Now about the crackers. Can I rant about baby food cookbooks? Of course I can this is my blog and you don't have to read it now do you?
So what is the deal? Why is there no consistency about what to feed babies and when? Margo has pretty much decided she's done eating baby mush and wants to gum whatever I'm eating. I found a recipe for crackers that seemed pretty harmless. Oats, oil, water and... honey. Okay now, there's no warning on this recipe, "only for babies over a year". I'm thinkingthe warning about honey is just for raw honey right? Jon agrees, it must just be raw honey, not baked. Well now I've gone ahead and made the crackers, only now do I decide to sit down and google it. Nope, it's honey- cooked and raw. Apparently the "botulism" spores don't die off that easily. I've been giving her pieces wheat and honey bread for the past couple of days. It's so comforting to think that I've been feeding my sweet baby girl botulism spores for a couple of days now. Isn't that great. And what is up with all these baby cookbooks I own? Not one of them has the same message about what to feed babies when. And I can't find one good clear and concise site on-line.
Okay, I feel much better now.
At least the crackers turned out good and Sollie likes them.
Things can only get better, right?
