For some reason I love making baby food! I made all of Cole's food when he was a baby and I plan to make most of Lily's as well. I say most because one problem we ran in to with Cole was that he refused to eat store bought baby food and that made traveling tough. We had to take a cooler full of ice with us to Kansas City one weekend and it was a huge hassle. Anyway...I love it. It is so easy, and cheap and most importantly healthy. I was going to start Lily Kate on sweet potatoes but Cole really wanted her to try carrots first so I went with that. If you have a baby and you have never done this I suggest you try it. As she gets older and the meals become more complex it does take some time but these stage 1 foods are so simple! Needless to say she loved the carrots! She made a few funny faces right at first but soon caught on that they were yummy and ate them up! Cole still loves to help us feed her and loves that she sits next to him to eat. She is now eating 3 meals a day. Oatmeal for breakfast, carrots for lunch and carrots and oatmeal for dinner. Along with that she is drinking about 24-26 oz of formula a day. I'd say she is doing great!!! This is such a fun stage and I am so excited to try every new food with her. Thursday = sweet potatoes and then so on. Cole has a list made up in his head so if you are ever curious what Lily will be eating next just ask him :).
