I’ve expanded my baby-food-making efforts this week.  Kelvin has just started eating meat in the last few weeks.  When I first started him on meat, life was crazy and we were out of town and stuff, so I just fed him the jarred baby food dinners with meat in them.  He didn’t seem to care for them much, but he tolerated a little bit at a time (and filled up on fruit instead).

This week, I made him a Chicken, Carrot and Rice Dinner and a Beef, Peas and Potatoes Dinner (I made lots of each of them and froze them, of course).  I think he’s in love.  He just gobbles up several “cubes” at a time!  It looks kind of gross (maybe a little like pet supplements ), but he thinks it’s great!  I think the main reason he prefers my homemade food over jarred food is the texture.  Mine isn’t perfectly smooth and he seems to like things that he has to chew a little.  And I’m perfectly fine with that…my homemade baby food costs a lot less, is better for him and I know exactly what’s going into it!  It’s a win-win situation!
