my little connoisseur

we started giving asher solid food on the 28th of december. we started with oatmeal mixed with breast milk and he loved it. we then tried sweet potatoes and he loved that. we tried bananas, not a big fan of those but we didn't get the crazy face or shivers we were hoping for. then came avocados, again a big fan and then apple sauce. really liked the applesauce and then carrots, yup, loving the carrots. today we tried peas. a part of me was waiting for the 'oh gross!' reaction, but no, he loved the peas.

my boys an eater. big time. he gets done and his little tummy is all distended. but i'm not forcing him to eat, he just keeps actively opening up his mouth and leaning towards the spoon. it's crazy. tonight he ate an ounce each of applesauce, peas, sweet potato and carrots with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of oatmeal. craziness.

i think we'll try pears on wednesday. i'm making all of his food. i'm not sure how long this will last, but i've really been enjoying it and it's so easy. i just bake or steam and then puree and freeze in ice cube trays and thaw what i need. it's really cool. but man, i think asher may start out-eating us pretty soon. maybe he'll be a chef. that would be cool.

So glad he's loving the food! Making baby food is a lot easier than it sounds, isn't it? Once he starts eating more you might think about freezing larger portions in baby food jars - I have a bunch if you want some.

That would be lovely Mindy! If you have some to spare, I'd love to take some off your hands.
