baby food

we gave asher his first commercial baby food last night. i had purchased a few because they were on clearance at foods for living the other week. i've been thinking about starting to give him a bit of meat...i even purchased some organic chicken last week, but i've yet to make it for him. i've been dragging my feet. i'm not really sure if i want to start him on meat. i'm thinking of keeping him a veggie for a bit longer. but i'm wishy washy on it and last night i asked steve if i should try the commercial stuff on ash to see if he likes it. it was squash and turkey.

now normally, his food tastes great. i make everything he eats. his breakfast consists of barley oats, apples, pears, bananas, avacodo, cinnamon and yogurt all mixed together. it rocks and it's so nutritious for him. for lunch and dinner he gets a combo of a few of the following: sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, peas, rice, pears, apples, peaches and bananas. everything is fresh and flavorful and yummy. and we're working on adding more choices for him.

so last night before giving the commercially made squash-turkey food to asher, i tried a little...it sucked. totally sucked. i knew asher wouldn't like it even before it hit his lips, but i thought i'd try anyway. yup, he hated it. it actually made me pretty happy. it makes me realize that i'm doing something right for my son. i've enjoyed making his food and as i've said before, i'm not sure how long i'll keep it up...but the fact that the food i make is so much more tastier and he likes it so much more, brings me joy.

maybe i just need to get of my rump and make my own chicken squash mix. i'm sure asher would like it so much more.
