I decided to make most of my own baby food this time around. Sounded fun, and it is. It helps that Marlo is, well, highly enthusiastic. Get the spoon anywhere near her and she launches at it like a shark. So far everything has been agreeable. Sweet potatoes, pumpkin, parsnips, acorn squash, applesauce, pears. She even likes green beans, which I just buy jarred because they are a pain to get really smooth. I thought Hayden was an eating machine, but she trumps her brother.
The next new food to try is papaya. I've never even tasted papaya.
This whole gig is cheap too. I bought one sweet potato, and filled a whole ice cube tray and 2 larger containers with it. We're still working through 2 dollars worth of pears, and a 2 dollar acorn squash. I think the pumpkin was 4 bucks, but it was organic, and I filled 2 ice cube trays with it. Plus I get to make all sorts of interesting blends. Pumpkin/apple. Parsnip/pear.
Good times.
Wow, Tiff. I'm impressed. Way to get started on this fun adventure. I agree with the wierdness of blogs. I mean, why would we want to read about the simple, mundane tasks of other people's lives? Because we care! Because we like them! Because we do the same things! I'm looking forward to keeping up with you and the fam.
