Cooks In The Kitchen

Introducing Solid Foods

My babies are growing up way too fast and we are already onto feeding solid foods. I have to be honest the first few months of this year are a blur and I still can't believe they are almost 7 months.

You can start introducing solid food anytime between 4-6 months. I started introducing solids when they reached 5 months to make sure the twins could hold their head up steady in an upright position. I love making their food because I know exactly what they are eating, I use all fresh organic fruits & vegetables. It has been fun watching the silly faces they make when they taste a new recipe of mine.

RECAP OF LA LA LAND VIA CAMERA ROLL

It's been a few weeks since we got back from our 4th of July vacation in Southern California and today I am sharing some of my favorite moments (camera overload). It has taken awhile to get back into my routine and we are definitely bummed to be back in the Arizona heat. I'm ready to escape the 100 degree weather again.

Since the twins were born we didn't know what to expect and thought it would slow us down a bit in the traveling department. We have taken a couple of road trips and airplane rides, so far traveling with the twins has been pretty easy. Don't get me wrong it does take planning and I feel like we pack up our whole house, but they have been wonderful traveling babies. We managed to squeeze us all in the car after packing our bags, the puj tub, double stroller and twin bassinet pack n play. (It may be time to get Mama a SUV) To be honest they even surprised me- they slept better on vacation than they have in the past six months.

Whether we drive or fly, I try to plan the trips around nap time or bed time, it really seems to help. This road trip we left at night right after their last bottle so they slept the entire way to California.

Here is our Southern California recap...

Our daily stroll to the beach.

The weather was so great we took full advantage to be outside daily.

We actually hit up a few beach cities while we were in town, since they are so close to each other- Redondo, Hermosa and Manhattan.

Farmer's Market On Friday

Last week we were in Southern California and on one of our daily strolls we ran into a farmers market. It was such a treat to find, Its not often I see a great farmers markets now that I live in the Arizona Desert. I love supporting the local vendors and the best part about it we get to take home such amazing fresh fruits and vegetables.
