Upcycling Baby Food Jars, Part 2

This past Friday I had written a blog entry about my work on creating a matching collection of spice jars for my ample collection. The last thing I needed was way to organize the jars that would make it easy to see what I had and not have to pull jars out of a cupboard. I had contemplated having Kirk build me a custom wall holder until I saw something at Target today and picked up three to try:

What I came across was a Munchkin Baby Food Organizer. The ones at Target sell for $7.49 and are white with a bit of springy green on the bottom. They assemble easily (all of Munchkin’s products so far have been easy to put together!) Amazon carries them, Munchkin Deluxe Baby Food Organizer, but they are a bit more money and show the core being blue. Otherwise they seem to be the same, I am thinking Target’s were an older style maybe. Either way they were perfect for my project! I have spots for 72 jars and it fits 2, 4 or 6 ounce jars. And most of all I can turn the trays around, even each layer independently. For a spice junkie this is heaven!

My Baby Is Growing Up and New Baby Food Finds

My baby keeps growing up on me. He turned 11 months old today! One more month and he won’t be my baby…he will be my toddler :-O

He often sits in his highchair while I start dinner, it is a fun way for him and I to talk (OK, I talk….) and he has finger snacks and then he has his dinner.

Yummy snacks!

Walker likes to eat a lot of new tastes and I mix it between a diet of home foods, stage 2 and stage 3 foods and yogurt. He loves yogurt!

For breakfast this morning he had Beech Nut’s Cinnamon Raisin Granola cereal and normally likes cereals but doesn’t get excited. This one though, he really, really liked it.

For dinner tonight he had another Beech Nut meal, Sweet Potatoes and Chicken. I have tried him on a couple of types of baby meats and so far he wasn’t impressed. Pushed them away. This one though he ate up quickly. He has always enjoyed their sweet potatoes and the texture is good – not watery but not paste thick. So many of the meat ones are just too thick and he gags. I will be picking up more of the line for him.

On yogurt: he loves mooching off Daddy when Kirk is having Chobani Greek Yogurt. We gte it at Costco (a fraction of the highway robbery at the grocery stores – our local Safeway sells it for $1.99 a container!) The big containers are too much for a small baby so when I saw the store carrying Chobani Champions, for kids, I was excited. They have two flavors, Very Berry and Honey-Anna. The berry one he can have so I picked up a 4 pack to try. It is just like Daddy’s just in a smaller 3.5 ounce tub and smoother (no chunky berries). And was more reasonably priced than the adult version (weird I know!).

In a little while he can start having honey so he will have more options :)
