Adventures in Solids

We were into mush on Valentine's Day, but ours was of the apple variety. The Friday before V-Day, I put our girl in my fantastic new Kozy carrier (ordered from a great little store McKinley Kidz), got out the instruction manual to our fabulous Beaba baby food maker (thanks to Matthew's grandmother for that little gem!) and after a little reading...



I steamed and pureed an organic Golden Delicious for Dory's first solid food.



The next day we took turns feeding this wholesome and tasty snack to our little one...




She was not a fan...


Neither of us knew what to expect, but I can tell you, neither of us expected that. Little One was a hoot; she actually shuddered at the first spoonful then pulled the most awful face. Organic, steamed and pureed apple to her was clearly grown-up speak for "disgusting muck often found on the bottom of one's tennis shoe."

Back to the baby cook book for mama!
