Going Organic with Baby Food

Alistair's first Vegetable ! Carrots ! Lots of Vitamen C and good for those amazing eyes of his.
Daddy making mush out of the boiled carrots, need muscles for that ricer of ours
Carrots needed to be boiled in water and a little butter about 25 min till they were the right texture. 

So we decided to try the organic way of feeding our son, by stopping by at whole foods on the way home from our 6 month checkup to pick up his first ever vegtables.  We settled on carrots, we have found that they are easier on the tummy and also the very first reciepe in our baby food cookbook. We admit it was very time consuming to make 3 lbs of carrots to the perfect texture for picky baby's mouth , but we got about a jar and a half out of it. 

As you can see Alistair wasn't all too sure of the orange creation we made him, but he seemed to get adjusted quickly the next couple of days or so. Dr. said to introduce him to a new vegetable every week, I think we'll try squash on Monday? Its a pure joy to finally show him there's tasty things out there beside milk and rice cereal. Looking forward to all the new foods we can make for him and see how he reacts.
