Making Baby Food

This week I tried a new thing: making baby food. I was intimidated, but it actually turned out to be pretty easy. The first food I tried? Definitely prunes. For the cost of four or five store-bought servings of prunes, I made about 30 servings for Noah. And I know for a fact the only thing in his food is prunes and water. Here are the various steps I went through:

1. Boil the prunes.

2. Blend and strain the prunes. For this step Daddy needs to be home because Noah is afraid of the loud blender.

3. Put the prunes into the ice cube trays and freeze. I used a turkey baster to portion the prunes into the ice cube spots. It was WAY too time consuming, so I have to do something different next time. I didn't get a picture of this step. It was too much.

4. Feed the hungry baby.

5. Enjoy the baby smiles.

Noah really liked the prunes and I was pretty proud of myself! The next day I made carrots and those were Noah approved too! I think next I might try peas. We will see what is available at the farmer's market.
