Our little guy turned 5 month's old last weekend. Wait. How can that be? Time is moving at warp speed you guys! It's just unbelievable to me how quickly they grow. He is so laid back and happy, so it was no surprise that after rolling his first spoonful of cereal around in his mouth for a minute - his face quickly lit up with a big smile!
We started with organic brown rice cereal and now, we are exploring veggies. It's the perfect time of year too! The fresh organic produce is plentiful at our local farmers market and we have been taking full advantage. Our little guy's favorite so far? Carrots - he can't get enough of them!
Our top Baby Feeding Essentials picks for 4-12 months are:
1.Sage Spoonfuls On The Go Set
We made the choice to exclusively feed our little guy fresh, homemade baby foods. I like knowing where the produce comes from, how it was prepared and that it's free of preservatives. So, Sage Spoonfuls is the perfect companion for this stage of feeding. The "on-the-go" package comes with everything needed to get started. Including: a travel bag, storage container's (BPA free), a food processor, immersion blender, labels, ice pack, recipe booklet, and more. We are loving this system and our little guy really seems to be enjoying our homemade creations so far! You can find Sage Spoonfuls at select retailer's nationwide and online at: www.sagespoonfuls.com
2. Foodii Pureed Food Squeeze Snack™ Feeding System
We've already shared with you all our affinity for the Kiinde Breastmilk
Storage/Feeding system. So, you can only imagine our excitement when they recently introduced The Foodii Squeeze Snack Filling and feeding system! The Foodii Squeeze Snack Filling and feeding system allows you to fill Kiinde Twist pouches with pureed food, for mess-free meals on the
go.
Simply puree your own baby meals using your blender, pour into the wide-mouthed Foodii Filler then squeeze the Filler to fill Twist Pouches or Foodii pouches with healthy nutritious snacks, mess-free! Feed using the attachable ergonomically designed Snack Spouts or soft silicone Squeeze Spoons (both have leak proof caps).

3. Zutano Just For Aden Little Bibs
As we have told you before, we absolutely adore the Zutano "Just For Aden" Collection. We think that their Little Bibs are absolute must-have feeding gear (they are perfect for the teething stage as well)! They are comprised of soft cotton muslin and are available in bright playful patterns for both boys and girls. Be sure to check out the entire collection - we just know that you'll love it just as much as we do! Available at select BuyBuy Baby retail locations nationwide and online at www.zutano.com

The Munchkin BPA FREE Bowls are available in 5 packs and the Munchkin soft tip infant feeding spoons come in 6 packs (both are available for just $2.99 a pack). You can find both Munchkin BPA free bowls and spoons at Target retail locations nationwide and online.

This USDA Organic Brown Rice Cereal is the perfect choice when introducing solids. You simply mix it with breast milk or formula. This whole grain cereal provides essential nutrients for baby including; Iron, Zinc, B, C, and E (VitaBlocks Essential Nutrition). We love the packaging too! The easy pour/spoon top makes use and storage super simple. Gerber recommends this product for supported sitter's and beyond.
6. Fisher Price Space Saver Highchair
With 3 children, space is definitely at a premium in our home. As such, we are loving the small footprint of the Fisher-Price Space Saver Highchair. It offers a reclining seat (perfect for the first stage of feeding) and a tray (complete with cup holder) and it attaches directly to your existing dining chair. The Fisher Price Space Saver Highchair is modestly priced and is available in several patterns & color choices. Find it at select retailers nationwide and online at www.target.com

You all know that we have an affinity for all things Joovy in our home, and the Joovy Hook is no exception! We love the versatility and portability of the Joovy Hook. This seat easily attaches to your table and provides a comfortable seating option whether at home or on the go ( just look how compact it is when folded down into it's travel case - see above image).
