Homemade Baby Food....Say What?

That's right, I have and will continue to make baby food. :)  Always been picky about food myself, I knew I would have a hard time feeding Kasen store bought baby food. I was RIGHT that jar food stunk, looked discolored and tasted far from the actual ingredients. I never actually tasted any of his jar foods, but my husband did. :)  What a good guy! The labels alone make me sick.....Turkey Sticks, macaroni beef with vegetables, need I go on?
Anyways, schools were running 2 hours late because of our 1/2 inch of snow, so I decided to make my morning productive.

So easy!

1.  Clean and chop
2.  Steam or bake
3.  puree
4.  freeze

So far I have made, apples, pear, pumpkin, sweet potato, squash, peas, green beans, and squash.

I feel like such a MOM.

'Tis the Season

I can't believe Christmas is in 1 week! September was just here......or at least it felt that way. 
It's bittersweet! Although I like that our life hasn't drug on, I am sad that Kasen is growing up SO fast, yet happy that he is growing up.
Does that make any sense?
Anyways, I love Christmas time, but have had a hard time getting into the grove of things...Now that the house is decorated and tree is up I hope my Christmas spirit rises!
For the second year in a row now, my in-laws sell trees from their farm. It was exciting getting a tree as a family of three. 
Kasen seemed to enjoy it as well. And now that he can almost sit by himself we don't always have to be in the picture with him. :)  He is also at that point where he wants to eat EVERYTHING he touches.  
And here is the finished product....
Kasen also turned 7months!!


Can't have Christmas without a cheesy Santa picture. 
He did really well. Didn't smile for anything, but didn't cry either. 
That's it for now. 
Hopefully you'll hear form me soon! 
My News Year goal is to be more on top of posting pictures. Seems like a reasonable goal. :)
