Home-made baby food

My first attempt at making my own baby food turned out GREAT!! I did sweet potatoes. Which are actually pretty mushy already once they are baked, so there was not much to do. I baked them, peeled the skin off and used my immersion blender to blend them to a nice smooth consistency. I then spooned most of it into an ice cube tray to freeze. That way I can only thaw a cube or two out at a time when i need some. I also put some in small tupperware containers since he was going to be eating them this week anyway.

The result.....


I cannot cook without Julia's help!


Jude getting ready to have his first "real" food.


Jude LOVED them. It took him about two spoonfuls to figure out the taste and if he liked them, but after that he about inhaled them.

He is LOVING solid foods. I cannot spoon the stuff in fast enough and cries when it is gone. I am told I was the exact same way as a baby. In the next couple of days I will be making other veggies for him to try. I bought peas, carrots, squash and green beans to make into baby food.
