Chicken Kebabs with Potatoes and Broccoli

24 years ago today, my whole world changed - I earned the title of "mom".  What a wonderful day that was -  the happiest and scariest day of my life.  We were over the moon excited to meet our sweet baby.  We counted his fingers and toes over and over again.  We watched him breathe while he slept and panicked and alerted nurses that there was something wrong when he got the hiccups.  🤦🏻‍♀️

In the months leading up to this birth day - we prepared for our our new addition.  We set up a nursery and we read the parenting books.  We felt like we were adequately prepared for this new stage of life.  We knew how to take an infants temperature and perform CPR if necessary but as far as parenting - we were CLUELESS.  I'm still not really sure why in the world the hospital staff ever saw us fit to take this child home.  Apparently they were unaware that we had no idea what we were doing.  I'd say that 90% of the first year of his life, we were wingin it.  But somehow, he survived - and so did we!  👶🏻

​Year two was a little easier.  We felt like seasoned, experienced parents and we were eager to impart our parenting advice on anyone willing to listen.  Our curious little toddler was an accomplished climber - very accomplished.  😂 He never walked - only ran everywhere he wanted to go.

This energetic toddler didn't but his first tooth until he was 15 months old.  I was absolutely obsessed with his little toothless grin but when all my friends babies started getting teeth around 6 months, I had another first time parent overreacting moment. 😬 I packed him up and and ran him to the dentist.   Despite my pleas to x-ray his gums, the dentist assured me that he did have teeth.  🦷

​My child's lack of choppers may have been a concern for me but it certainly never slowed down his food consumption.  This kid could "gum" almost anything.  Spaghetti, meatballs, vegetables, bagels - he ate it all.  

Since I was a stay at home mom to only one little, tiny, toothless human, I spent hours cooking and pureeing food during his first year of life.  I'm not sure that he ever even tasted food from a baby jar.  I would just cook vegetables and protein and put it in the blender and he would gum it up.  (Don't get too excited: It was a whole different story when I was responsible for keeping two tiny humans alive.)  😂

One of the things that I would make for dinner a lot during that couple years of parenting was potatoes and chicken.  Those were always two foods that I could always count on him eating.  And as an added bonus - we liked them too.  He still eats chicken and potatoes and now that he has a full set of teeth - I don't have to puree it for him anymore.
