Carrots, Prunes, Squash & Zucchini

Our next food adventures are carrots, prunes, yellow squash and zucchini squash.  All four were big hits!  A whole bag of carrots made 4 trays worth of carrots to eat on.  I have noticed this time around it is not as exciting to start new foods.  With Liam it was after 3 days of trying a new food we were on to trying the next one.  I couldn't wait till those three days were up where we could start something new. This time around we will stay on one food for like a week before I make something new.  Im just not motivated this time around.  Plus I am a little busier too. 
  





We gave prunes a try.  I bought store made prunes.  I was too afraid to make them home made but I found a place in my baby food book where you can rehydrate dried fruit and then make the food so I might try that next time I give it to them.  The pictures I take are of the very first bites.  Some of them are hilarious!




Multitasking with two hungry babies!  I do this a lot when I don't have the help available.  Or I give one some puffs or yogurt melts to preoccupy him while I give the other a bottle.  That seems to work good too!


I cut up about 6 zucchini and it made a little over 4 trays to freeze.





They were pretty happy with the taste.  Plus, I liked the fact that it was something other than orange food.  I was afraid that if I didn't make them something of a different color then their little noses were going to turn orange.  Looking at the next pictures, their noses already look orange :(



I cut up about 6 yellow squash and it also made a little over 4 trays.  




I couldn't shovel it in fast enough!



We have started mixing flavors together and I never just give them one thing at a time anymore.  It is usually a mixture of 3 or 4 different fruits or veggies.  These growing boys love to eat!!!
