Time to Eat!

If there is one thing Sammy loves, it is to EAT!!!  His favorite is Mommy Milk, of course, but more and more he is loving his solids!  The last few days he was fussy and unsettled at some point in the day.  I finally sat him in his high chair and gave him some food and yep, that's what he wanted!  I tend to think he is a bottomless pit, because he never seems to get full!!  I will feed him and he just keeps opening his mouth for more!  He especially likes pears lately!  He just slurps them right off the spoon if they are not mixed with cereal.  Yum!

I had intentions of making and freezing baby food for him this summer, but haven't as yet.  I tried using my little food chopper for some avocado awhile back, but it couldn't really blend it enough.  There were little chunks and Sammy didn't really like that too well.  Last night I cooked some green beans from a garden that I had frozen.  We had some left over so I put them back on the stove to simmer for awhile and then Donnie put them in the blender.  They came out great...every bit as smooth as Gerber!!  I saved some of the Gerber tubs, so I filled two of them with the puree and put them in the refrigerator.

Today I put some of the puree in a dish with a tad of Mommy Milk to thin it and Sammy gobbled it up!!! He ate most of one tub and just loved it.  It has kind of inspired me to start making at least some of his baby food.  I think I can at least do green beans, peas, carrots, etc.  Those are very easy to cook and then toss into the blender.
