Blake is enjoying his first round of fruits this weekend. We started with bananas, I don't mind finishing them when he is full :) I am struggling with the best way to make and store his fruits. I have a few friends who make all of their babies' foods except fruits. I didn't understand why until we tried to freeze Blake's bananas. After freezing his bananas the thickness changed and when thawed out they had a film or skin formed on them, gross! I have also read in, What to Expect the First Year to buy your fruits instead of make them because of the preservatives. I am assuming the added preservatives that baby food companies add into the foods is what keeps the fruits from getting this "skin". I've decided, although, again not time saving, to make his fruits daily. The bananas only took a few minutes because they didn't need to be steamed and I added breast milk to them for added to nutrition.
We are also trying avocado this week. If you haven't started to introduce solids foods yet, I read yesterday that avocado is a great first food. It's really creamy and doesn't have a strong taste. It was really easy to cook up also.
This has nothing to do with baby food, but last night I sewed my first infinite scarf! Tonight, I am going to try to make Blake matching pants to celebrate St. Patty's Day. I'll post step by step instructions! Here is a picture of the scarf in the mean time. Excuse my appearance :)
