{Babies First Bites}

We started feeding our mini duo some homemade purees this past week

They are still nursing full time, but

have recently started to be  very  interested in 

what everyone else is eating :)

The first thing they tried was some

sweet, ice cold watermelon that Andrew, Judah

and I were enjoying on a hot day.

They LOVED sucking on a piece of it

and lots of screaming resulted when the

piece was taken away.

I got to work making some simple, single

food purees : bananas, carrots, yellow squash

avocado and sweet potatoes

Ryder loves bananas

Will adores carrots

Once they are a little over 6 months I will start

trying some mixes and fun baby food recipes,

which I will share on here for anyone that might

 be starting their own adventure in homemade

baby food making :)

I have been doing lots of research on baby foods and
what are the best,most nutritious choices.

Avocado has been by far the most highly recommended.
Avocados are one of natures perfect foods--
filled with vitamins, minerals and rich in good fats!

Judah had some food allergies early on, so we are being

cautious in what we introduce--holding off on grains

until 9 months of age, as well as any kind of dairy.

When we do introduce grains we will start with Quinoa

{I could go on and on about Quinoa, but I will save it for another day :) }

And now for the cute part of this post---the babies eating

some carrots for the first time:

 {Trying to decide how he feels about the carrots!} 

{Notice his 1 blue eye & one 1/2 blue 1/2 brown eye!}

{Ryder was very happy with the carrots!}

{Judah had just burst into the room & Ryder was immediately captivated by his big bro's

crazy antics and done eating...}
