See the Resemblance?

My parents always referred to this look as "Fred Flintstone Face". (Yes, she is now enjoying pureed roasted pumpkin . . . along with her avocado and banana these days. This weekend we're going to try out papaya!)

Ian is giving me a hard time. He'll enjoy his food once or maybe twice a week ... the other days ... well, let's just say it's a battle!
Are you preparing Gabriella's food? Or buying it?

Vivi, I'm sure Ian will come around. Eventually we all eat real food! ;)

With the plentiful and inexpensive fresh fruits and veggies available to me here, I just make all of Gabriela's food. I spent an afternoon a couple weeks ago making (and freezing portion-size) purees from greenbeans, carrots, pumpkin, apples, and pears. Avocado, papaya, and banana I just feed her directly. Although she'll eat any of it, she actually seems to prefer the slightly more textured stuff - not the purees! A great site for ideas is http://www.homemade-baby-food-recipes.com/index.html

Since she is Brasilian and all, I have plans to make some homemade brown rice cereal and mash up some beans for her before too long. hehehe
