I spent most of last week making baby food. I only have 2 freezing trays, and it takes 8 hours for puree to freeze, so I could only make 2 foods a day. I would have much preferred to spend a few hours one day and knock it all out, but alas you can only do what you can do. None the less, I was able to get a good stock made. Once frozen the food has about a 2 month life span so making 2 trays of each kind of food seems to work best for time frame purposes as well as giving her good variety. Katherine now has apples, black beans, broccoli, butternut squash, cauliflower, nectarines, peaches, pears, sweet potato and zucchini. I need to make more green peas and acorn squash as she blew through those. She also gets fresh banana when I have it on hand. Some of the foods have oatmeal or rice cereal added in as they were not as thick as they needed to be once pureed. This is great in my opinion, kill two birds with one stone.
After she makes her food selection she likes to pick out a good book to read. As yo can see, she has quite the selection to choose from. I thought I was cleaver by leaving the bottom shelves empty, but once she started pulling herself up I realized I was doomed...as were my books!
My good friend Michelle and her son, Rowan, are coming up tonight. It'll be great to see them and fun to see how Katherine and Rowan interact. They saw each other about a month ago. I'm sure I'll have some cute pics to post in a few days.

mmmm! You just gave me some great food ideas for Asher. He hasn't tried black beans or cauliflower yet, so I'll tackle those next! Loved the video...:)
