little foodie

I'm back from my little one week break from blogging..I missed it, but I worked most of last week so I didn't have a whole lot of time (or energy) to go online. After picking up little V from her abuelitos or grandparents house (depending on the day) I was just too busy cuddling with her... That is not totally true as she has become quick mobile and only lets us cuddle with her at feedings and story time. bah! I knew the time would come...On the upside of her rapid departure from babyhood, she is now able to chow down on some food as demonstrated here



I'm still pureeing the majority of her food but she can now eat food with a bit more chunk to it and she's not a picky eater yet so we're giving her everything a 7 month old is allowed to eat. Next month she'll start eating legumes, and even fish and other meats, how exciting! She's loving frozen fruit and especially with this heat wave..we put frozen mango, apricots or apple in her baby mesh bag where she sucks out every ounce of juice. Whoever invented that thing is genuis.. just genius! This baby food tray freezer thing is also pretty brillz, pop out the cube of food and we're good to go. Daddy K calls me the mad scientist when I'm in the kitchen boiling and pureeing V's food for the week. But I can't help it, she loves food, so I want to make her more of it. Plus it's so cheap to make baby food at home, much cheaper than buying the food already made. Anyone have any good baby food recipes?
