Making Baby Food!

Now that Emmitt at 5 months old is on rice cereal & oat cereal, i thought it would be good to make him some baby food.

There was a book being featured in our Newspaper called Baby Love, written by Norah O'Donnell & Geoff Tracy. Husband & wife, he is a chef & she is a news reporter.



I was so impressed when it came, on how easy it all was. So far I have made Peas, Carrot's, Apple & today I am making Sweet Potato. Tomorrow I am going to do the pears.

This picture shows how nice & bright the food is, compared to the baby food you see in the shops!



Putting them in ice cube trays makes for easy storage in zip-loc bags. It turns out 2 ice cubes defrosted & heated is just right for him at the moment. You give the the same for 3 days, to make sure they are not allergic. He has had 3 lunches of peas & been fine.

I like that it is just the veg & water, or fruit & apple juice. When he is 8 months old he can have pom-pom apple, that's apple with pomegranate juice!

As you can tell from this picture, he enjoyed his peas!!

Hosted a Baby Shower :)

On Saturday I hosted a Baby Shower, for my best friend's daughter. It was such great fun, we had 18 people attend including the Mommy-to-be! Here are a few pictures from the special day :)

Nana loves her little man!

I am not getting to blog as much these days, but I am getting to spend quality time with my beautiful Grandson! Emmitt has now reached the 4 month mark.

My hubby told his boss this week, that he had it on great authority (from me) that he had the most beautiful Grandson in the world! Well Nana's can brag can't they!! LOL

I brought him over to our house this week & he got to play with a Monkey a friend brought for him. Having not seen him for 2 weeks, due to vacation, he can now hold things & everything goes in his mouth.



Then I took a video of him in his play exercise toy
