Get in my BELLY

 No surprise here - Kamden likes to eat.  Solid foods have been no exception.  I make his baby food... Not because I am some elitist mother that thinks her precious, perfect child can have nothing jarred or with preservatives.  I do this because I am thrifty and it is SO easy.  It started this fall with an incredible harvest of butternut squash and sweet potatoes (thanks, Mom!).  This is a picture of the sweet potatoes.  They were the biggest things I have ever seen:


We are still eating the harvest from this fall.  He has squash or sweet potatoes everyday, usually mixed with something else.  It is getting near the time where they might go bad so we are eating them as fast as he can.  His other favorite foods have been: avocado, green beans, and bananas.
 

He is pretty "involved" in the eating process so it gets rather messy!

 
If anyone has questions about baby food making - ask away.  It is a huge money saver and hardly takes any time at all.

I was the same way! A friend told me about making her own baby food - I thought she was being all high and mighty - but NO! So much cheaper, easier, better for the baby.

I have no questions, just wanted to say yeah you! AND wait till you start getting those "big boy", solid food diapers! Oh so stinky!

He sure loves his food! He was attacking it when I fed him last week :)
