Baby Food

Oh, yet another reminder that my little boy is growing up. I made my own baby food for Audrey, and I'm here again making baby food. Considering I am NOT a cook (but would love to learn) I get such joy making the food. It's fun picking out the food at market, setting a day aside, getting Audrey into it, and baking or steaming the food to then be able to puree into a nice soft texture for my little baby to eat.

With Audrey, I would make 1 batch of 1 type of food, so the poor girl had to eat sweet potatoes until she was orange, or peas until she was green. This time around I started with the variety. Audrey and I jumped in and made yellow squash, zucchini, sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, and apples.

I'm excited for the spring and summer months ahead as we enter into the yummy fresh veggie and fruit seasons. Living in Amish Country, we are so blessed to have so much "homegrown" varieties right at our fingertips, and it's a great way to introduce foods. Although I don't like the "inconveniences" this stage brings (another thing to plan into the day, and pack if we're headed out), I love having the opportunity to play in the kitchen making and freezing all these foods.

Now.....will he be a good eater? So far he's liking his newly introduced oatmeal, we'll see about this other stuff.
