Making Baby Food

This little sweetie likes to eat!  I started her on cereal at 5 months, then added fruits & veggies a few weeks later.  Most days, she really enjoys her food!

When Alex was little, I made almost all of his baby food.  It was mainly for the sake of saving money.  I planned to do the same when Max was small, but on the day that I tried, our blender exploded and sent shards of plastic all around the kitchen.  So much for that plan!  He was our Gerber baby. :)

We have a new blender now, so out came the bags of frozen veggies!  The boys were all excited to help.  We steamed the veggies, then tossed them into the blender with a little rice milk and some brown rice cereal.  (Why?  I don’t know!  That’s just how I do it.)  October2011 090

Alex lined up the old Gerber containers, I filled them, and Max put on the lids.  Who knew that making baby food would be a fun family activity?

For approximately $3, we made 14 containers of vegetables for Jensyn.  I’d say it’s worth the 30 minutes we spent on this project! 

And Jensyn?  Well, she’s glad we did it, too!
