Baby Food

Rosina is 6 months old already, which means bring on the baby food. We have been giving her rice cereal, but now we can actually start introducing real food. We decided that her first food would be based on what was available in the kitchen, carrots and sweet potatoes. The boys and I got to work making it.

I dumped half a bag of cut and peeled carrots in the steamer. I did the same with the sweet potato. After they had cooled the boys got to help. They washed their hands and put the carrots in the blender. We pureed the carrots first, washed the blender, then pureed the sweet potato. We spooned each puree into an ice cube tray for the freezer. 

The boys are always in the kitchen when I get out any appliances. They love to run the blender and try out all the buttons; a puree is good for that. Spooning out the puree into the containers was good for them to measure and improve their accuracy. After everything was done, they were very proud of the meal they prepared for their baby sister. They wanted to feed it to her right away. 

Hint: A food processor works better than a blender.
