Bring on the Carrots!

The continuing saga of introducing my son to solid foods.

The time had finally come. After a few weeks of dutifully feeding my baby applesauce, bananas, and pears, it was time to introduce the vegetables.

I decided to start with carrots and opted to try my hand at making

homemade baby food. I steamed and pureed the carrots without a problem and now have enough carrots to last my son for months.

At first taste of this strange new food, my son wrinkled up his little face and looked at me as though I had lost my mind. At second taste, however, he was a bit more open-minded. Now, a few days later, he is eating carrots without a struggle.

Ah, the sweet taste of success.
