Well, Stephen and I have decided to try out the making our baby food! We are starting small and going to see how things go and go from there. We are currently feeding him just the Gerber 1st Stage foods and he is loving it. For the most part, they are still very good for him. But, you know me, I want to make sure my baby has the best when possible. With doing our own baby food, it is more likely that he will be get more nutrients and vitamins, instead of fillers and water. So far, Stephen has fed him fresh bananas and avocados and Luke ate them just like any of this other baby food. Tonight we cook fresh (frozen from last summer) lady peas from my sisters garden and sweet potatoes. We also cut of some avocados.
We are freezing the avocados in slices. We pureed the sweet potatoes and the peas. We only had to add a little bit of water to the sweet potatoes (none to the peas). After they were pureed, Stephen put them into ice cube trays and into the freezer. In about an hour, we have prepared 30 meals for our little feller - this is 15 days worth of food! Not bad for an hours work in my opinion :-)
And now for Abe!!! On January 5, 2011, Abraham Thomas Gurner blessed us with his presence. Abe is the son of Chris and Marilyn Gurner. Chris and Stephen already get in a lot of "trouble" together and it is only a matter of time before Luke and Abe join them. Friday's is going to be boys day for them - Chris is off on Fridays so has been play day for the 2 big boys since Marilyn and I are working. Abe is such a sweet, lovable, handsome boy. Below are pics of them together from the softball field this past weekend....
