Baby Food

The photo is dedicated to my brother Wes who just can't stand the site of a baby eating!

This morning Asher tried prunes for the first time. This is his first food other than rice cereal and oatmeal. He loved it! Always ready with his mouth open when I had the spoon coming. So funny. He was so satified with eating it that he even feel asleep. I've never had any of my kids do that. Too funny! Not really the food I would have chosen to feed him first but he's been so constipated I neede to try something. Next is Avacado followed by Sweet Potatoe and Bananas!

I forgot how much time goes into feeding babies. He's now at 3 meals a day and this really does dip into my time for sure. I try to feed him while we are all eating. One bite for me, one bite for him. It's amazing how much variety in baby food Publix is carring now. I've always made my own baby food but I would buy jars to take with me when I was out. Now they are carring organic, and my favorite brand that I used to go to health food stores for, Earth's Best. I highly recommend their baby food if you need to buy jarred food. I especially recommend using their rice cereal and oatmeal. (It's not refined and processed). But of course I LOVE making my own. It fun, easy and the most tasty. Books I recommend on making your own with recipes as well: Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron, First Meals by Annabel Karmel. The first one is the most comprehensive and has the most research and the second has a look of pictures. If you're only going to get one I would get the first one.
