Bananas

Prep time: 2 minutes

This recipe is so easy, it's almost insulting (or maybe it actually is...) What's your excuse?

Peel the banana and mash it with a fork.

Add breast milk to desired consistency and voila. It really is that easy!

Pro Tip

Painless Band-aid Removal

This is breaking news - a discovery my husband and I made just this evening.

My girls went to their six-month pediatrician appointment this afternoon and received a round of shots. Our pediatrician puts band-aids on after the shot has been administered to keep out infection and to make sure the medicine doesn't escape from those tiny little thighs. These band-aids are heavy duty and do not come off very easily. In the past, we've waited until they were already crying to take off the band-aids and planned to do the same this evening. Then, the magic happened...

This evening after bath time, while baby #1 was still soaking wet in her kitty cat towel, I slowly peeled her band-aids off. They lifted off the skin with ease and not a tear was shed.

Things I Never Thought I'd Say

"You need to take your cow out of your mouth if you want more bananas."

Context: Lily was chewing on her cow teething rattle while I gave a bite of bananas to Aubrey but was complaining like she wanted another bite, too.

Btw - Add that cow rattle to the 'products I love' category. It's called Bright Stars Dancing Teether Friends and it's rated 3+ months.

I'm afraid this is true of my six-month old, as well! We're in trouble.
