*Product Review* Nuby Super Spout Easy Gripper Cup

Nuby sent me a cup to review, and although I wasn't too sure at first, now I like it. Mommy puts ice water in it when I eat a meal.  I like how cold that stuff is, and I'm getting pretty darn good at drinking from this cup, if I do say so myself.  The Nuby Cup has a soft spout, kind of like my bottle nipple.  At first I just chewed on it, because that felt so good on my sore gums. Then I figured out that stuff came out of it, and that was kind of shocking. It was COLD! Now I make mommy give it to me when I want it while I am eating. I gotta wash that food down with something.  I also like that it has a smaller middle, so I can hold it easier by myself and get it to my mouth without any help.  Did you know that when you throw things on the floor your mommy will pick them up?  A new mealtime game!!  I throw it down a lot, and no spills!! I admit I'm a little disappointed in that feature.  Nothing wrong with a mess!


**Mommy says**   We've been working on sippy cups for a while, so I've been holding off on this review to be fair and make sure he got it the concept of a cup.  We have 3 different types, and Keigan and I both like this cup the best!  The Super Spout Easy Gripper has a unique one piece No-Spill™ soft silicone spout that is easy to use, easy to clean.  The others that we have, Avent for one, frustrated him.  Either they were harder to get the liquid out, or much to easy. Some of them have, in my opinion, a weird spout shape. This one has a valve that opens with a little pressure, he started out just biting on it and and water came out- then the first few real sucks made him throw out his arms in shock! Ice water is shockingly cold!. I think he likes it because the spout is silicone and most like a bottle nipple, and I like it because it is a leak resistant spout. 

Mommy tip  **lets face it people, these are leak resistant, not leak proof. If you leave it laying on its side, there will be a slow leak. But when thrown on the floor, it's no spill.  For us, it's a win- and I'll be ordering more of these!!  You can order at buybabydirect.com and they are $5.99 a two pack!

I did not receive any compensation for this post, although as part of this program I may receive items to sample or review.  These opinions are my own.

Plum Tots- Fruit and Grain mish mash - apple cinnamon oats and quinoa

To be honest- mommy is not sure that I like cinnamon.  I've had it a few times with less than stellar results.  Ehh- it was pretty good I guess. I ate it.  Then I ate my goldfish crackers. Now people, those are GOOD!

Beech Nut Fruities- Apple, mango and carrot puree

So I was playing while mommy mixed this up- sometimes the woman is slow, I gotta say it.  She was messing around and putting oatmeal into my food so I was playing with my new hat.  I like this thing.

The food was super good too! And it was so PRETTY smeared all over my tray. Mommy should really get a picture of that for you.  I make a big mess, and have even learned to drop some over onto the floor and lean over to look at it alot.  I make sure she has to WORK to get me to eat. But this stuff was yummy and I ate it!

Ella's Kitchen- very, very tasty Vegetable Bake with lentils!

MMM!! This tasted as good as it smelled!!! I loved every last bite of it!  I did take a little time to smear some of it around, but that's what happens now that I am eating here 3 times a day!  Ella's is all organic, and has lots of good ingredients in it like- tomatoes, carrots, parsnips, rutabagas, onions, leeks, peppercorns,sweet potatoes, red lentils, red peppers, oregano, cumin and olive oil! This is more like what the big people eat!!

I need a vote people! Help me eat cake!

Daddy's birthday is really soon. Mommy is trying to decide if she will let me have some cake with daddy, or if I should wait until it's MY birthday.  I want to say that I don't think it's fair if EVERYONE else gets cake and I have to wait? Whose with me???? Give the baby some CAKE!

Plum Organics - Apple, raisin and quinoa

I was sad when this was all gone.  I really liked it a lot!  I didn't even stop to play my games, I just ate really fast. Daddy was even in the kitchen watching me!!! It was sweet, and mommy put some extra rice in it to make it the way I like it.  The ingredients were just like the name- except a little lemon juice! mmmm... good!

Pastini in Chicken Broth- with Nurturme scrumptious squash

My friend Abby's Mommy told mine about this pastini stuff, basically little bitty tiny pasta shaped like stars.  So my mommy got some and made them for me. She cooked them in chicken broth, added pureed chicken that she made for me too. She also added some Nurturme scrumptious squash. That stuff was delicious!!!!!  My friend Sonja was here to baby sit me so she was lucky and got to watch me eat, I know that was fun for her.


**Mommy says** Nurturme is a brand that makes dehydrated baby food, so basically I added powdered squash to the mixture.  It isorganic and BPA free.  Also- I have heard that people add this to baby food as a thickener instead of a grain, but from my research it is actually higher in calories and carbs, and not as nutritious as adding the grain- since most of the grains are nutritionally enhanced.

Recipe- feel free to tweak for your babies tastes! Keigan likes foods thicker, and this made two servings. 

1 1/2 cups organic chicken broth.  ( I used a carton, BPA free)
1/4 cup pureed organic free range chicken (I pureed the chicken and froze it into individual portions) 
1/4 cup pastini 
1 pack nuturme baby food- scrumptious squash.  

Super easy- boil the pasta in the broth until cooked. Mix in the powdered baby food until not lumpy- then pop in the cube of frozen chicken.  The frozen precooked chicken will help cool the dish down a bit. I served him half, and put the rest into a large size baby food jar for his lunch tomorrow.  I've also done this with the Nurturme crunchy carrots, but it didn't taste as good.  If it is thicker than your baby likes, just add more broth!
