Little Sous Chef

Miss Eva has been eating more and more solid foods and it's been really fun to experience with her! We started solids a bit early (four months) but she was definitely ready. Oatmeal was her first food and she still loves it, but we've been working on expanding her palette. So far she's had avocados (she's not sure about those yet), peas (they're growing on her), apples and pears (love fruit!), butternut squash, carrots, zucchini and green beans (not a favorite at all).

So far we've made almost everything that she's eaten. Applesauce is actually cheaper and more efficient to simply buy unsweetened all natural, but other than that, we're hoping to make most of her food. It's very easy to do and doesn't take that much time at all. And not only can I ensure she's eating healthy food with no preservatives, we're also saving money doing it!

J went ice fishing last weekend so once Eva went down for bed, I grabbed the monitor, poured a glass of wine and went to work in the kitchen to make and freeze a bunch of baby food.

And Eva is the greatest little sous chef ever. She's always ready and eager to try whatever I've got!

Now if we can just get her to keep more of it in her mouth and not all over her face, hands, hair and highchair.
