Making Baby Food

[lilmami81]

It's been a while, so here's a new journal post.  It's all about the Mr. T.  He eats some solids now.  We started rice cereal when he was 5 1/2 months.  He seems to like it.  He honestly doesn't eat much. He's mostly eating for fun and variety.  He thinks food is novel (I think!) because everyone else does it. However, when you actually feed him, he is more interested in smearing it all over the high chair seat as opposed to eating.  The most he's eaten at one time is an ounce.

The rice cereal is the only purchased baby food he has.  I really want Tris to have a health start. We are using the Earth's Best because it has the least ingredients LOL.   Everything else, I make.  He's tried bananas-not excited, sweet potatoes-ambivelent, carrots-boring, and apples-uninterested.  I have already made green beans and they are a-waiting in the freezer.  He doesn't eat every day yet because he isn't really into food like that LOL.  It's cute when he eats becasue he tries to chew like a big person. He doesn't have any teeth, though, so he just smushes up his already mushy food.

"You want me to EAT this?!"

Oh my, he's getting SOOOOO big!  I can't believe it.  What a cutie.  Good luck with the food.
