Frozen Yogurt Bites

We've been so busy lately over here at our house. Here's what we've been up to the past couple weeks:

Shoveling snow in our driveway (approximately 14 times)
Moving furniture
Planting a tree
Laying pavers
Watching Yo Gabba Gabba
Filling holes that Leia has dug in the yard
Wrangling the crawling, standing, almost-walking babe
Hanging pictures
Picking paint colors
Fixing billing errors over the phone with our insurance agent
Soothing Little J when his teeth hurt

Notice how "blogging" isn't on that list?  Yeah... sorry!  But I did manage to take some photo documentation of some of our projects.

I found a (somewhat helpful) solution to The Peanut's teething pains.  He's not a fan of teething rings (but Leia is a HUGE fan, we have discovered, when the babe throws them to her on the floor).  He is, however, a major fan of EATING. 

I made some frozen yogurt bites for Little J to munch on. They are healthy and sooth his sore gums.

Ingredients:

Any type of yogurt (I used "plain" because that's what I had in my fridge)
Optional: Fresh/Pureed Fruit

I blended all my ingredients together lightly in my Baby Bullet, then poured the mixture into a baggy.

By cutting a small corner off the baggy, I was able to squeeze the yogurt out in small drops onto wax paper (the same way I might frost cupcakes in a jam).

I ended up filling several sheets of wax paper with yogurt drops.

These little babies freeze quickly, so I was able to pile the wax paper sheets on top of each other as I went.  Don't judge the interior of my freezer... there's no reason we should have 2 lonely Eggo Waffles stashed at the back, uneaten.  But now I know they're there, so they won't last...

Once completely frozen, the yogurt drops simply peel off the wax paper. Easy peasy!

They are easy for the babe to pick up (and just as easy for him to toss on the floor to feed the dogs, like he often does).

See those tiny little bottom teeth?  The twice-as-big top teeth are making their debut any day now, and Little J loves to remind us how much they hurt.  Poor chap.

Remember little Leia?  Not little anymore... And certainly not done growing either!  She's been assisting the babe in cleaning his tray at mealtimes.   I don't think he minds.

I store these yogurt bites in the freezer in an airtight container.  They should keep for a couple weeks, but they do melt quickly, so I don't ever leave them out on the counter for very long.  And I only give the babe a few at a time, because once they start melting, they smear everywhere.
