I never new Noah had gone TOTALLY vegetarian. I know that one time he told me he wouldn’t eat anything that had once had eyes on it, “Because I don’t want to eat animal eyes.” That’s what he told me. But I also heard from a source very reliable (*Teegan*) that Noah wouldn’t eat hot dogs because he “likes Shugar and Crash, and wouldn’t want to eat them”. And since when did Addison need surgery? No one told me about that.
Nobody ever tells me anythign around here. *Pout*.

Noah sounds like a beautiful soul! What a wonderful big brother…if only the grown-ups could see differences through eyes like his!

Good for you for NOT making food an issue of power and control. As long as he is healthy …that is all that matters.
“flower buds”? that is priceless.

I think it’s GREAT that you’re open to each individual child’s needs and quirks. I’m sure it was an adjustment to have a child who (from day one) has not had an affinity for meat, especially when your family is one that appreciates meat. That makes your acceptance of him and his innocent desires that much MORE awesome…. he has a mama who works alongside him and respects his opinions. I’m sad that so many people have criticized you for this…. but I also know this experience has been one of growth for your family, which is priceless.

And Noah’s evident love and excitement for Addison has been such a blessing to watch throughout the past few months of bringing her home. Y’all are blessed.

Love the new blog.
It is nice to see another mom who researches nutrition for her babies. The link you provided is very similar to what we followed with our older two girls and thus far we have been very healthy, picture perfect on growth, and too smart for our own good. I still wish the twins were solely breastfed, I don’t think I can handle making my own formula as well as balancing the time all four girls take. Parenting is certainly a time of give and take.
Gotta go dust off the books and notes as we are approaching the age of solids!

Seems like every kid has their eating quirks… My son A prefers pasta over all else and getting him to eat veggies or even a lot of meats is a challeng. I think it’s great your son craves such healthy foods.

That is super sweet about Noah and his love for Addison… what a wonderful big brother.
