Why I make my own baby food

Here is $2.00 worth of store-bought baby food.



And here it is next to $2.00 worth of homemade baby food.

We bought sweet potatoes and squash at the farmer's market yesterday, and I made an enormous amount of food for E for less than $4.00!

We got E's shopping cart cover in the mail today, so we made a special trip to the store to try it out. We bought an avocado to try this weekend. We're starting fruits on Saturday! It was sunny, so she's not very smiley, but I think the cart cover is too cute!

She was super-cute when I went in to get her up from her nap this morning, so I had to go grab the camera.

"Oh noz! I'm in a cage!"

"I know! I'll gnaw my way out!"

"Hmmmm, no luck. Maybe I'll try looking really cute until Mom can't stand it and has to pick me up."

These pictures are from Monday, but I forgot to post them until now. We were at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and of course the Nans had to check out the coffee maker aisle.

"Oooohhhh, this one looks nice!"

"Please, Mom?"
