Kourtney turned 10 months today! WOW! I can't believe how old she is already! I am loving all the new stages and how much she is changing. This age is so fun. I am still nursing quite a bit although I hope to start sliding off in the next two months as she will be ONE in November.
I have a lot of friends who ask ... Isn't it hard to make baby food? Time consuming? Messy? To that I say I am all about doing whatever is best for your family. For us and baby K, we really enjoy feeding her what we are eating. Since I decided not to start her on solids really until she was about 8 1/2 months. We skipped a lot of creamy baby food and mostly feed her really soft "melt in your mouth" chunks. She loves it because she loves feeding herself. I love it because I feel like she is ready and I can tell she enjoys it.
So I took a few pictures of what I do that really takes no longer the 30min to make a whole weeks worth of food. Plus I know there is no crap in it and all just really good REAL food :)
I also make her baby food because I enjoy it. I enjoy eating healthy and cooking so naturally, this would peek my interest :)
First Boil some good old H2O....
Peal the fruit or veggies if you want to .....
Boil them until soft.....
Chop them up and or mash them to a consistency you think is appropriate for your little one.....
Put them in a container and either refrigerate them or freeze them :)
See that seemed really easy huh? No fancy baby food processor or anything! Of course those are nice but no necessary and in my opinion seam to make more dishes to clean up then even worth it but to each their own..... :)
So good to see you both today! Love this blog post! I'm almost done with my food one too!! Just have to attach the ole pics. I so agree real food is easier! I do have some baby food jars (empty ones) that are great for transportation of the home cooked chunks.
