Blueberries & Bananas...

Messy, messy, messy!  E loves to eat and every time, he is a mess.  This is a direct result of being a constantly moving target, periodically flipping up the bib to chew on it, and fingers in his mouth.  This morning required a bit more clean up than usual.  Oh.my.goodness!

Blueberries...EVERYWHERE!

...but he loved it!

Squash, anyone?

I made my first batch of home made baby food last weekend and it was surprisingly easy and fun.  As you can see, we're starting E off with squash.  Two medium squash gave me about 12, 2oz. servings so we're stocked.  Here we go!

E was happy to open wide, but super funny, what the heck is in my mouth, faces were to follow...lots of them.

Believe it or not, he did end up happily eating every last bite.  

Next up...carrots...

Getting ready for something new...

In this case, that would be both E & myself getting ready for something new.  I've done the research, I've compared prices and with that information have decided to make our baby food this time around.  I've found a couple of really great blogs to help and inspire me in this endeavor and if I can manage to get one afternoon a week to get the next week's menu prepared, this should be fun.  I am happy to know that I'll know what E will be eating and NOT eating, for that matter.

Supplies in preparation for what is to begin next month.  

If anyone out there in the blogosphere has any suggestions or tips, they are always welcome!  You can bet there will be many a post about this as it develops.
