peas and prunes and pears - Oh My!

After being introduced to a handful of solids Zooey went 5 days without pooping! That paired with two allergic reactions in one week resulted in a pear and prune diet for the next several days. That makes it a bit difficult to introduce new foods. Now it seems like we're back on track so I've spent a few naptimes making and storing baby food. Cooking is not my favorite thing to do. I'm so thankful for a husband who finds cooking healthy meals stress relieving, but I do like making baby food. Simple steps of preparation and cooking, then blending and spooning into cute little organizing containers are right up my alley.

Poof! Healthy food for a happy baby.

Last weekend it was butternut squash,
pears


and prunes (for obvious reasons).


Zooey loved liking prunes right off the spoon.

This weekend we have peas,

apples
and carrots.

Zooey is so cute. When he sees me put colorful ice cubes into a small bowl, he begins kicking his legs and bouncing around. He knows it's time to eat, and he likes to eat.
