Last week I decided I was tired of spending money on store bought baby food and that I was going to make my own. I really got into it and I made carrots, squash, zucchini, green beans, apples and chicken. Here is a picture of some of food containers I have in my freezer. I was really feeling good about saving money and making Gianna such healthy baby food. Look below and you will see how Gianna felt about my baby food.
I tried to take my carrots and mix them with her favorite Gerber pears but even that would not disguise the taste! Yes, folks she hates my baby food. I thought maybe it was the texture but after pureeing it to oblivion she still sealed her lips! I later heard from another friend she had the same experience. I was so frustrated that I took some the baby food and cooked it into my enchiladas I was making for dinner so at least they went to good use. As you can see from the picture I made quite a few failed attempts to the get the food into her mouth.Mr. F has gone back to day shift so my blogging hours are very limited. Gianna is doing a lot of rocking on all fours and is very frustrated that she cannot crawl. She is still all gums and will be 9 months on the 16th of June. She is saying Da da da da quite often and screams with excitment. She is still not much of a laugher but she loves to smile and wave her arms up and down. We are having a blast with her.

Such a bummer! I just started solids with Isaac and so far he doesn't seem to mind my homemade stuff. Maybe he just won't know any better if he doesn't get the store bought stuff to start off with? When he gets a bit older I want to try some of the recipes on weelicious.com. Some of the recipes are over the top but some look really good. Have you seen that site?
I loooooove the picture of Gianna with the food all over her face. If she could talk she would be saying, "Mom, come onnnnnnnnnnn, this is soooooo GROSS. Please give it up."
