Sweet Potatoes- Homemade Baby Food

Oh my… I am beat! Chad and I have been getting the house to look somewhat presentable for this weekend (plus packing for the summer at the same time). I cannot believe graduation weekend is already here!!! It seems just like yesterday we were packing up to move to Virginia. Now we are getting ready to leave. *Tear* After dusting and cleaning the bathrooms, I made some Sweet Potato Baby Food for Weston. It was SOOOO easy and super fast to make. All you have to do is bake them in the oven 400 degrees for about an hour. Then, scoop out the inside and puree. Tadaa… instant baby food! Two sweet potatoes made about 15 oz of baby food. At Wal-Mart 5 oz of Gerber Sweet Potatoes is $1.50. I paid about $1.50 for the 2 sweet potatoes. So I get 3 times as much for the same price!!

Well, I guess I should get back to packing!

Trying Sweet Potatoes

Tonight Weston tried Sweet Potatoes for the 1st time! It was so funny to see his reaction! At first, he did not even make a face. It was after the 5 or 6th spoonful that he figured out the taste and started making funny faces!! Click on the video to watch... I started video taping once he started making the faces!

We are planning to make our own baby food, but I had a jar of baby food (shower gift) that I used tonight. I bought some Sweet Potatoes at the grocery store this evening. Hopefully tomorrow I will find some time to make and freeze a few servings. The doctor said to introduce a new solid every 3-4 days. So I think we will try squash or carrots next!
