Baby Food Made at Home

Whew, Pie Pie has arrived! Suddenly, little Pie Pie went from from being a little cute pudgy bump on a log, to a movin', grabin', force to be reckoned with.

He does the inch worm to get from point A to point B in a Flash! He grabs at loose shoe laces, pony tails, and Hyung-a's underwear sticking out above his pants. And he EATs. Boy does that little guy eat.

We've moved past the ever favorite apple/pear puree to parsnips, carrots, broccoli, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and cauliflower.

This weekend was a whirlwind of cleaning, peeling, chopping, heating up, breaking down, cooling down, and storing many colors. Our small home smelled like a wonderful veggie soup. The kitchen windows fogged up with steam. The blender was running full speed ahead. And the freezer filled up with a beautiful rainbow of colors all waiting to be served up on a very small silver spoon to that little guy with his mouth wide open waiting for that next...sweet...bite.

Notes: I didn't freeze these in such large quantities. I broke out those ice cube trays and filled them up with those beautiful colors, tapped out the bubbles which flung some orange sauce onto the white cabinets, covered them with plastic wrap, froze them, and turned them out into labeled baggies. (So I'll be able to tell the frosty difference between squash and carrots, and parsnips and cauliflower.)
