Cereal, Sweet Potatoes & Avocados

Time to start feeding these growing babies!  They have been getting more and more interested in us eating so I figured it was time to get the trusty "Super Baby Food Book" out!  We started out with cereal for about a week until we got down the whole spoon feeding thing and then we moved on from there!







Next on the list to start was sweet potatoes.  I baked 2 sweet potatoes in the oven until they were soft and then blended them in the blender with some water until they were the consistency I wanted them to be for the boys.  I made all of Liam's baby food when he was a baby and enjoyed every minute of it.  I like knowing what they are actually getting and it's so much better for them!  I put the food in ice cube trays and freeze them.  Each cube is 1oz.  I just throw 2 of them in a bowl and warm them up and they are gone in no time!







Next, we have started avocados.  Unfortunately they weren't too excited about them.  I can't really blame them because I am not a big fan of them either but they are a good fat for them to have and a good first food to start with!







Reid was the least excited about avocados! Haha!




Needless to say I didn't force it on them.  I ended up mixing them with sweet potatoes and they went down a lot better that way!  Looking back at my blog with Liam I did things totally different.  I started with cereal then bananas.  Next was avocados and sweet potatoes.  I mixed Liam's avocados with bananas.  Here is a link to all of Liam's first food attempts!
