Starting Solids

Two weeks ago Zachary showed interest in eating, so I handed him a graham cracker, he put it up to his mouth and went Nuts! He enjoyed the new taste and it actually had a flavor unlike his hard toys! He got mad and cried every time he dropped the cracker, and would look at me like I Did something wrong hahha! I went out and got him some of the Gerber crackers, its a lot easier for him to hold and I'm not digging in his mouth every five seconds scooping out chunks of cracker! He had his first expirence on baby food too! the first food he had was Organic Pears, he didnt like them to much but I am wondering because it was the First werid texture in his mouth. Next he had Organic Bananas! Oh My!! he LOVES bananas!! he says "mmm mmmmmm" even after he is full he still says MMMM!! its so cute! I know im Not supposed to give him the Sweet stuff Yet.. dr. said start with veggies first then sweet stuff last because he will enjoy the sweets and not want the veggies later.. So we've moved on from the banans and on to Organic Green Peas..he likes them but Not as much as the Bananas! haha! My next adventure is making my own baby food! I am going to order some special freezable continers and pull out my Magic Bullet, we will see how that goes!! Wish me Luck!

I loved making baby food. If you want to save a little $$, I suggest using ice cube trays rather than buying special freezer containers. Just pour the puree in the ice cube trays, then once it's frozen, drop them all in a freezer bag for storage. It worked great for us. A great website for recipies is www.wholesomebabyfoods.com.
