I am so proud to say that I spent 2 hours today pureeing fruits, veggies, and meats! When I was pregnant I vowed that my baby would eat healthier than I do. I love my heat ’em and eat ’ems and strongly dislike fruits/veggies!  I know that isn’t good eating habits and I promise to role model better eating when we are all eating table foods. Until then I’ll skip the veggies and take some fries! Anyway, we started Kayden on solids about a month or so ago and I knew I wanted to make her food, but I thought it was going to be a lot of work and I kind of just said I’ll look into pureeing later. Well Santa brought me a Baeba baby food maker so now it’s the time to get on it! This morning Kayden and I headed to the store to get some fresh fruits and veggies! Boy did we have some fun!! Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to really get started until after her lunch, so we’ll see tomorrow if she loves what mommy made! So far we have sweat peas, apple sauce, and turkey! I am so excited to get creative and expose her to the world of eating!!

I started off with a cup of peas. Sweet, it made 2 servings!!

Kayden helped mommy, but she did NOT like the sound of the blender!

After I put her down for her nap I moved on to apple sauce. This was a lot more work than the peas, but I think it came out well!

Finally we made some pureed turkey. Looks kind of gross, but it can’t be any worse than the jarred turkey she’s been eating! That stuff stinks and tastes horrible!After nap time Kayden needed a wardrobe change because she was wearing her lunch and I couldn’t stand looking at the spatter stains from her raspberries!

After all my cooking I even managed to do some light cleaning… okay okay I just vaccummed the rug, but it still counts! What a great day we had!
