LOL!!! Tiff, I am SORRY but your story made me laugh!!!! What a disaster!!!! Oooh, dear, I can NOT imagine cleaning up cheese powder!!

I forgot to say - congrats on the box move, Amanda!

Rae you will be proud of me! I went out and bought avacodo! Now...I have no idea what to do with it

 

[Vickie]

Oh tiff I'm sorry. the bit about it sticking to your mouth did make me though. Hope your mouth feels better soon

 

[Vickie]

We used to give Hannah avocado and banana together, she seemed to like that okay. Now we tend to cut it into small bits and put cottage cheese over it

 

[Tiff]

If it hadn't happened to me I'd have laughed too!

Em!

Most stores don't sell "ripe" avocados. It should be super easy to peel. If not, let it sit for a few days. You can always cut it up into strips and give that way, but if you are nervous about it you can always puree it. Avocado doesn't need anything added to it when you puree it. Just blend, pop in ice cube trays and you are good to go!

 

[Vickie]

if you need to ripen an avocado place it next to bananas, it will ripen within a day or two Just make sure to take it away from the bananas once it is ripe

Stiina - you had asked a long time ago about what kind of clothes were good for breastfeeding (I think). Anyways, the babysteals today are my FAV bf tops. I wear them under normal tops instead of a nursing bra.

I know that they are sold out, but at least I thought you could take a look at them.


Tiff - sorry but your bad food day made me laugh

Em, Elyse likes avocado mashed up and mixed with plain yogurt. I know some people will oppose this but I don't recommend trying the avocado yourself, I think it tastes soooo nasty

 

[tasha41]

Tyff your post made me giggle a bit too I have had some food-fails recently.. and done a couple messy things yesterday I'm not going to fess up to

 

[Vickie]

Not a fan of avocado myself but I try to get Hannah to eat it because it is so healthy

Vickie - I am not sure, can fangs come before the centre teeth? Whatever the case, those top teeth have to be killer, have you guys checked out how thick to top gums are? it kind of make me uncomfortbale and sick just thinking about the pain of those suckers coming through!

 

[codegirl]

Edward LOVES avocados. I just mash with a fork (after it ripens of course) and I have also been known to mash and freeze.

He's all finished all the frozen mashed avocados now so I think next time I might let him try a slice instead.

 

[tasha41]

I just find avocado so bland and like.. creamy-ish?? lol.

 

[codegirl]

Jay, Edward's ped was saying this week that one of the things that might be waking E up is the fact that the top gums are super senstive before the top teeth come in and if the bottom teeth "bite" then the pain will wake him up. Really explains why he suddenly just starts to scream for apparently no reason.

Maybe that's what's happening with A?

 

[redberry3]

i need to get some more avodcados. A loved them too!

 

[codegirl]

oh, and I so DON'T eat avocado!

 

[redberry3]

i only eat it in guacamole! yumtastical!!!

Terri - that is very interesting and I can see that being painful!!
(who is his ped BTW? we go to doctor dansereau)

 

[Vickie]

Generally the middle ones come in first though teeth can come in in any order. Hannah's middle ones weren't bad but the fangs were awful, lots of crankyness and not a lot of sleep

 

[pinkmac85]

Ok so then how do I know when an avacado is ripe?!? LOL I feel so stupid...I dont know anything about these odd green fruits (is it even a fruit?!? )

 

[pinkmac85]

See I really know nothing about them because I've been spelling it wrong
