something else

i forgot to tell you about is i finally tried my hand at making my own baby food. i made apples suace, peas, and green beans. AND baby tj loves avocado! you just scoop it right out of the skin and mash it. mix it with a little water to thin and smooth out the texture and give it to 'em.

they all turned out really good.
he loves the applesuace. we tried the peas last night for the first time. he ate them but he looked a little repulsed. he'd take a bit and pull the corners of his mouth down and then he'd shudder!
it was so cute, but he kept taking bites so maybe he didn't mind the flavor. i hear peas have a funny texture when mashed.
i haven't tried the green beans yet. i went with peas first b/c i hear most babies don't like them. i figured everybody likes greenbeans so i'm saving them after he accepts the peas.

You could also try mixing the applesauce and the peas. He might not notice the peas flavor if he tastes the applesauce. Yeah, I HATE peas (not pees). That would be SO bad of me to write!

I never thought about peas having a weird mashed up texture. You know what I am going to have to do now...

i only have video of the first cereal tastings.... i never thought to try and put video up here.... i'll have to try it out!
yes VP~ mash away at those peas!
no matter how long you spin that blender it will still have texture! you just cant get it totally smooth.
