Real food

When Gabriel had is 6 month check up, his pediatrician said that he can start eating real food. Jenelle decided, while she was pregnant, that she wanted to make all his food in the beginning. We started with pureed sweet potatoes. He really enjoyed his first taste of food.

Jenelle makes a batch of veggies or fruit every week and freezes it in ice cube trays. We defrost a few cubes for each of his meals.

So far, he has had homemade sweet potatoes, pears, zucchini, apples, butternut squash and green beans. The only one out of those where he gave us a "yuck" face was when he tried zucchini for the first time, but it has grown on him.

When Gabriel sees the bowl and spoon he knows what's coming. As he sits in his highchair, his legs start to kick and he bounces up and down with his mouth wide open.
