Squash!

Today Rutherford tried squash for the first time! We bought an organic butternut and I baked it, then threw it in the food processor:
Added a little breastmilk and it was baby food consistency in no time. R sat, patiently waiting in his new booster seat. He's been having oatmeal a couple times a day and is learning quickly that the chair means food is coming :)

Related, I now understand bibs. He gets his baby food everywhere! He also loves to grab the spoon and try to feed himself... which means his hands are always a sticky mess at the end. :)

The first taste of squash had him looking a little weirded out, lol:


He got over the initial shock and although he didn't seem to LOVE it, he certainly kept eating it, so I'll call that a win. I made enough for his next few meals. I mixed it with some oatmeal so he'd have a familiar taste along with the newbie. He seemed happy enough:


First foray into homemade baby food a success - woohoo! I'll probably try avocados or sweet potatoes next.

Haha, that Squash is really ORANGE. My little man sure likes to spread that stuff around, I can't wait for dinner time.

He looks like quite the big boy in his high chair! Each photo seems to indicate he's liking the squash more and more.
