Baby Food Bonanza!

So we have officially started solid foods and Bragan has been doing well with it. We did 1 week of rice cereal 2-3 times a day and then did oatmeal for 1 week 2-3 times per day. After he successfully competed those 2 weeks we moved on to the good stuff! We are introducing new foods every 2 days.

Here is our progress so far:
Sweet potatoes - He loved these!
Peas - Did not like them the 1st night, but ate them all the second night.
Squash - Enjoyed these, but appetite was not good these days because of an ear infection.
Apples - Loves these!

I thought it would be better this time around to make his baby food from scratch. Not only is it more economical, but this way I know exactly what goes into his food. I spent a few hours tonight steaming and pureeing sweet potatoes, carrots, and peas. I also pureed some avocados. The freezer is fully stocked. I am looking forward to letting him try all these new things and knowing I am feeding him wholesome delicious food with no preservatives or strange ingredients.

*We made a video of the first feedings and will post those later.
