(a very messy 1st spaghetti dinner)
My boy is a very good eater. Like crazy good. He started off slow with the rice cereal, but probably cause it tasted like crap. So once we started giving him new flavors to try he just went to town. It started slow with how much he would eat, but once the doctor told us to feed him three meals a day, it was on.
We had been feeding him lots of different flavors of baby food from the jar, and he did great on them. But as time went on, and he was doing great at feeding himself puffs I thought it was about time to start some finger foods. First we did bananas cause that seemed easy. Then I thought sweet potatoes would be good and that went well too. Then I did some Googling and wrote down some suggestions. The number one suggestion turned out to be avocado.
I bought one avocado and from then on, my boy was hooked. He can eat it every day for every meal. He loves it.
Once he had been eating the bananas and avocados really well, all I could think about was what other foods would he like and why am I buying baby food in the jar.
Last week Jake and I went to the store and bought all the fruits and veggies we could get our hands on. And so my obsession started. One day I'm making him acorn squash, then next its papaya. I cant stop myself. I love making food for my boy.
I've used all the Tupperware we have to freeze some food, and I cant wait to get to Buy Buy Baby to pick up some more baby food storage containers.
Who would have thought that the girl who hates cooking most in the world would be crazy excited to cook for her son!?!
So, now I'm hooked on finding recipes for what he can have next. Any suggestion?

I just use ice cube trays that have lids. Once the food is frozen I move it into labelled ziploc bags so they take up less room and I can make something different. I bought mine on amazon, but you can get them at Target too. :)
