My baby is 7 months old! How did the past half a year (plus a month) fly by?! I am now in the midst of baby-food making, a stage that I enjoy and dislike at the same time. I enjoy making my baby's food because it is:
a) cheaper than buying bottled baby purees
b) easy to do
c) as I'm making purees I can mix them into my other kids food too (they haven't noticed the carrots in the smoothie or squash in the spaghetti sauce!)
I dislike making my baby's food because:
a) it takes time
So this time around I'm trying to simplify and stream line my baby-food making methods. I give my daughter more from what we eat and make a big batch of purees for the freezer at the same time I'm making dinner. So far this is working well for us!
