homeade baby food

Yes, I have been making my own baby food for Violet. I am really quite proud of myself. I don’t have any pictures of it, but I’m sure you know what baby food looks like. So far I’ve steamed carrots, apples and baked sweet potatoes. Then I mix the food up in the blender, put them in ice cube trays and stick them in the freezer. It really is a lot easier than I was expecting. I still am using bought baby food if it will be time for her to eat and we are out somewhere, which is quite often. But for the times we are at home, it is so easy to just pull a cube out of the freezer and defrost it for about 30 seconds and it’s ready!

So far she has eaten rice and oatmeal cereal, carrots, apples, sweet potatoes, pears and peas. And every once in a while its fun to let her suck on some fresh juicy melon.
