Sickness and baby food.

Interesting title huh? Keenan has his first bad cold. He's had it for 3 days now but it's pretty bad. He has a really nasty cough and sometimes when he starts a coughing fit he has a hard time stopping. He's congested and just extra sleepy and loving. He passed out on Eric twice today. It's so sad. I hope he feels better soon.

So I've decided to start making some of Keenan's baby food myself. I'm usually a Gerber or Beechnut jar food gal. It's convenient and there are plenty of varieties. When we were on vacation they pureed Keenan's food every night and he really seemed to just love it that way (he likes his jar just fine). Recently we got a new blender that has a "baby food" button on it so I decided to give it a whirl. I'm going to make foods that you can't buy in a jar.

Today I went grocery shopping and picked up a bunch of stuff. We tried avocado out for lunch. I made it a tad too watery so I added a bit of banana to thicken it up. Keenan went wild. He loved it so much! Everything tastes so bland because it's fresh and obvious no added ingredients except for a little bit of water but Keenan doesn't seem to mind. I also have eggplant, brussel sprouts, and mango to puree! Woohoo. It sounds silly but it's actually so much fun to make it myself. Mostly because they don't sell eggplant, brussel sprouts or asparagus in a jar! I can't wait to see Keenan's face when he tries those foods out.

Hey I am glad being on the cruise inspired you to make your own baby food. I am sure it has more vitamins this way than in jars. Au natural!!! And chubby boy seemed to like it that way on the cruise. I saw the kids today at mom's and I can't belive how chunky my godson is! I love it!!!
