Purees

Jackson has been eating solids for a good month now. He really did not care for the food at first, but now he is eating like a champ. My little guy will put away a good amount of food during the day. He starts out his day with cereal and a fruit (if its a banana, he will eat the whole thing). For lunch I usually give him a veggie and a fruit. An afternoon snack consists of two fruits. He really goes all out for dinner with 2 veggies, a fruit and some cereal. After eating all of that food, he still feeds about 5-6 times a day and will wake to feed once or twice during the night. I am going to try and have him weighed tomorrow (7 months). Hopefully he will have gained some weight with all of the eating he has been doing around here. (He did not gain anything from his 5 to 6 month weight checks. It might have been the teething.)

Anyways, I am back to making baby food. I did this with Joshua and Abby Kate and it was a huge money saver!!! I really enjoy making baby food and it is so easy. This go around has been even better because of my new Magic Bullet (thanks Mom and Dad). The other day I spent a couple of hours making apples, pears, peaches, sweet potatoes, butternut squash and carrots. I had already made the yellow squash, peas and green beans. Here are some pictures of my finished products. Jackson has already made quite a dent in the stash, so I'm off to the produce section to buy some more.



Jason and I have been busy painting Jackson's room and our bedroom. The foyer/den/kitchen/playroom are next on our list. I am trying to put the finishing touches on our room and Jackson's and will post pictures of them as soon as I can. (Don't expect much, I can't even begin to compete with all of you other talented, creative and crafty mommies.) Until then, this picture of my baby Jack sleeping will have to do. There is nothing sweeter than a little one sleeping.
