Around here we make our own baby food. It has been such a wonderful experience for us. Not only does it help with our finances, but it also has been wonderful for us to control what Sierra is eating, the portions, the nutrients, etc. For anyone thinking about making their own baby food, the book that was recommended to us and that we HIGHLY recommend is called Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron. The book highlights the "4 day wait rule," what foods are okay at every month increments, several recipes, tips on growing your own foods, and even fun games to play with your toddlers. I have referenced this book many times during the past 4.5 months that Sierra has been on solid foods. It has been a blessing! Thanks to you ladies that recommended it, namely Cristen and Sara-Beth. I have to give a "shout out" to Brian too, because honestly over the past 4.5 months he has made about 96% of Sierra's food. He is awesome and only wants the best for his preicous little girl!!! We love him dearly for all he does for us!
Just for fun, I took some pictures the other day. Happy Monday everyone! :)
One tray of food and the trusty Cuisinart
in the background that helps in the making of most of it.

And what blog post would be complete without a picture of our little monkey?

Can we borrow this book in about 9 months? :-)
I may have to look into getting this book. We are also making Grace's baby food and I love it. I've only made sweet potatoes so far, but I can't wait to make more. I can't believe how easy and quick it is to make it. I'm glad to hear it's worked out so well for you guys!
