Black Beans and Hummus

Two of Caroline's favorite foods are black beans and hummus.  She loves the challenge of picking up the black beans and getting them to her mouth.  I think it makes her feel like a big girl to feed herself!  It can be a little messy though!

Another of her favorite foods is mommy's hummus.  It's kind of our go-to lunch around here since she and I can't have cheese or peanut butter.  I always keep chickpeas on hand to just mash up with some cumin, garlic, lemon juice, and presto, we have hummus!  Anna Kate and I eat it in a wrap with some veggies, but Caroline likes it straight on a spoon.  If you click on these next couple pictures to make them bigger, you can see the hummus all over her little baby mouth!
