From the last doctor appointment we decided to give the big man his first taste of food to see if he is ready or not. I decided a long time ago that I wanted to try and make his baby food. This is something I really want to do and hope that I can keep up with working full time. We received this neat baby food maker that will steam your veggies and then puree them as well. I was pretty excited to test this out, but first we hit up the grocery store to get two sweet potatoes because as a first time mom I thought two would be a good amount. Of course I found out that two was WAY TOO MUCH food, but it's ok because I just froze the extras for later. Here are the frozen chunks that I put into an ice cube tray and once they were frozen I was able to pop them out and into a freezer bag.
We cooked the potatoes, pureed them and then added breast milk to thin it out. We got the big man in his bumbo, added a bib and Andy got ready with the camera for video and photos.
The big man liked it. He did not make any weird faces and he ate as much as he could. I think it was a success.
Day two of the sweet potato feast. It was hilarious because I got him in the bumbo, bib on and picked up the cup with the sweet potato and the big man squealed with excitement. He obviously remembered from yesterday.
I gave him a little sweet potato puree and then nursed him and he was one happy big man. I look forward to trying new foods with him as I just love watching him learn and do new things.
