Solid food has begun...actually, it's more like mush than solid. I've taken on the task of making Brayden's baby food. I've mashed and pureed bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, and pears so far. It's actually pretty fun...time consuming...but fun! I chop, steam, then puree the item at hand; then I scoop them into ice cube trays to freeze. This makes ready-made 1-oz. portions of the food when it's meal time. All I have to do is thaw out the food and feed to Brayden.
This past weekend, I was pureeing away when Jonathan came into the kitchen. He looked at me, looked down at the carrots that were being spooned into ice cube trays, and asked a very sweet but hilarious question - "Does he suck on those?" How precious is my husband! I - with a short-lived serious face - responded, "No, babe, I will thaw out the frozen cube before feeding it to him." I couldn't keep a straight face for long! He was so curious to know if we would hand our 6-month old a big-ole ice cube chunk of carrots to suck on! How sweet and unassuming! Gotta love it!
Happy and covered with bananas
Smiling but eager to eat those 'naners'
