Life with the Chicken
Travelling with a 9-month old baby who is teething has certainly had its challenges. (One of her top front centre teeth is just about ready to cut through making our mornings such a joy.) Overall, we are proud to report that our chicken is adaptable to change and pretty easy-going.
Since our arrival in Athens, she’s tasted and enjoyed yogurt, kiwi, spinach, zucchini and her new favourite: kotopoulo … This goes against our initial decision of not feeding her meat until she turned one.
But after our recent excursion to a local supermarket (Markopoulos) in search of baby food in jars for easy transport and feeding — we discovered that “Arnaki me xorta” (baby lamb with greens) was considered appropriate for her age group (!) — who knew? So, we gave in and allowed her to sample some of our chicken souvlaki. Mealtimes will never be the same again.
Below are some of our favourite photos to date.

So glad you're having fun and that baby EM is getting to explore Greek cuisine! Actually, someone told me recently that lamb is one of the few things that is okay to feed babies when they are young... you'll be better off in the long run if she gets to taste everything now! Once she starts eating the same food as you guys, the next milestone will be when you don't need diapers anymore! Then comes the REAL freedom!! Safe travels!
