Almost Famous
Is that...? No, it can't be...
Photos of Chloe... photos of Chloe published in a BOOK!
Yes, my little pumpkin has taken her first step towards stardom, haha! All courtesy of this ol' blog. You see, I wrote this post and this post about our adventures with Baby Led Weaning and the UK author of the book contacted me. She liked my photos and wanted to know if I'd be interested in submitting photos for use in the new Baby Led Weaning cookbook they were putting together. Would I?? Umm, YES please! And that's how my daughter got published :)
I can't say enough about BLW. It has been an easy and fascinating food journey for us over the last twelve months. From six months on, Chloe was able to feed herself solid foods. Because she was doing the feeding, and not us, her dexterity came early and quickly, she learned to judge portion sizes (and would push out any excess with her tongue), and we had no choking episodes at all. And now at 18 months, Chloe is an adventurous eater (her faves are sushi, anything with tomato sauce, and sweet potato). She is now transitioning to cutlery and is getting very good at using her fork and spoon at the same time.
If you'd like to know more about Baby-led Weaning, you can get the book here or pre-order the US version of the cookbook here. Now, quick, somebody get this kid an agent!*
* just joking. I have no desires to be a stage mom!

Her photo is the first one in the book, right before the Contents, and the biggest in the book! I think she's pretty cute with her 7-month old chubby fingers & cowlick (though I may be biased!).

Wow! So cute, congratulations!! Chloe will love them when she's alittle older to appreciate them :)
ReplyDeleteSushi? Wow. I'm 39 and I can't even do it yet, though I wish I could. I think I'll grow into it. ; )
ReplyDeleteShe's a doll face!
Totally unbiased.
ReplyDeleteHow fun for Chloe to look back on.
Congrats little Chloe! Never heard of BLW - wish I had tried that with my daughter. Maybe she wouldn't be such a picky eater today.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! She is adorable
ReplyDeleteHow adorable!! Precious image...
ReplyDeleteJanell
Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI hope she doesn't become a diva and require only blue M&Ms and her own dressing room! ;)
Fun. Great photo, I remember that post. First time I have heard of BLW. It makes sense.
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic. What a little cutie!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! I love that picture of her, too cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful memory! Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! How cool that your little one's face is associated with a product/philosophy that is close to your heart. When our kiddo was a baby, he was photographed for SwaddleDesigns blankets, a product I swear by--big, square swaddling blankets; I know the creator. His fact still pops up on the internet to this day. It was fun to see him on Nordstrom's website!

ReplyDeleteI don't have kids yet, but I put the book under my "baby" folder for future use!

SWEET! You'll have to teach her how to Sign her Name for all those Autograph Sessions... ;-]
ReplyDeleteBTW, I hope you managed to swing a few Freebie copies!

ReplyDeleteAww, how cool is that! She's going to love to look back on that when she's older and say "Hey, that's me!".
