Today Max and I had our first success with solid foods. We have been working at this for the last 3 weeks with no luck. We started out with rice cereal, moved our way to sweet potatoes, peas and avocados. All with no luck. Max was not interested. TODAY though - he ate carrots - WITH anticipation! Who knew carrots? I HATE carrots - I probably didn't touch one my entire pregnancy. But - Max loves them......that makes me very happy!
I decided when I was pregnant that I was going to make homemade baby food for Max once he was ready. I homemake my dogs food every week - so why not Max's? It's actually a really fun experience for the both of us. I decide on the food that I want Max to try that week, make up a big batch and freeze it in baby food ice cube trays. Max watches me in the kitchen while sitting in his high chair. I tell him what I'm doing, point out colors of the veggies, etc. Then every night I pull out what I want out of the freezer for the next day and defrost it over night. By making his food myself, I know exactly what he is eating. It's not coming out of a jar that has been ready for a baby to eat it since 2009 and is good until 2011. Gross.
Hooray for carrots!
