Adventures with Baby food and Hairdos


So I decided I would be adventurous and try making some homemade baby food for Brenna. I found a good deal on peaches and pears at the supermarket and wanted to give a go at the puree button on my blender. I did some research on the internet and found a good website www.wholesomebabyfood.com that had some tips and methods. I made cubes of peaches, pears, carrots, and peas. I was very happy with my creations, until I put them in Brenna's mouth. She wouldn't have anything to do with half of what I made. Funny huh? I guess I need some more practice. It was a lot of work, but it really turns out to be cheaper and seems healthier too. Eventually Brenna did like the peaches and the carrots so my efforts were not totally in vain. One thing is for sure...you never know what to expect when feeding a baby anything new.


Ever since she was born Brenna has had quite a head of hair. After eight months it is getting quite long on top. After her bath the other day we had some fun with different hairdos. Whooh! Whooh! What style!

How fun! Yeah we tried home-made baby food a couple of times. It's true you never know how they're going to like it. Love her hairdo!

How great is that? I hope to try some homemade baby food too! My sister does that, and she says too, it takes a couple tries before they actually like it!

Kudos to you for giving the homemade baby food a try, Mandee! Rachel did alright with the homemade stuff, but she was always picky about having the textures just right. You never know with kids, right?
