I have a love/hate relationship with Tenley growing up...
I love how fun it is seeing her develop and I hate that she may not entirely need me to function someday. We chose to wait to start her on solids until she was 6 months old to let her tummy mature. Since Ed ended up having work and school on her 6 month birthday and we were eating potatoes for dinner 2 days before her 6 month birthday I decided to pick up an organic sweet potato so T-Bird could eat dinner with us, too. She has been practically grabbing our food out of our hands and off of our plates and she has two teeth now. It was time I realized she was ready, even if I wasn't.
A few months back I inquired about baby food processors on a Facebook page I belong to, Vegas Mommy's, and a lot of the Moms told me to just use a regular food processor to make baby food and it just so happens that I already owned one so SCORE. They also told me to just use ice cube trays to freeze the extra baby food. Then, one of the owners of 'Fresh Baby' wrote me and offered to send me the So Easy Baby Food Kit:
I totally love it! The cook book is great and has places to put pictures in and places for you to put the dates your baby tried the foods and their reaction to the food. The cook book also tells you how to pick the produce, how to store it and the best way to cook it to keep the most nutrients in it; which is super important to me. Cooking baby food was a lot easier than I thought and I will definitely keep doing it so I know she is getting the best of the best.
When Ed sat Tenley in her highchair and she saw the food she was so excited and kept grabbing and pulling the spoon to her mouth. She was grabbing so much that Ed had to hold her down a bit. She couldn't get enough!
Here's a video of her chowin' down:
Ohhh they just melt my heart!
See how I have a love/hate relationship? It was hard for me to watch her eat actual food and I did cry that night, but I did loveeee watching Ed feed her - they were just thee cutest!
