Baby Foods

After Donna was solely responsible for feeding Anna for the first several months (not that Kevin chose to do nothing, but biologically that was determined), Kevin has taken a role in making the solid foods. After getting her started on cereals, we've been introducing a new food each week.

The foods are:
• carrots
• pumpkin (bought at the Farmer's Market in the fall and frozen in anticipation)
• butternut squash
• green peas
• potato
• sweet potato, one of her favorites
• beets
• apples
• bananas (uncooked, just mashed with a fork)
• pears
• broccoli
• ceci (chick peas) -- these are a bit much for her at first, too lumpy
• red sweet peppers
• yoghurt (unsweetened, full fat)
• green beans, which she seems to really like even though neither parent is that fond of them
• spinach, cooked then raw,
• cantaloupe (only if it's ripe!)
• chicken
• turkey
• lentils
• avocado
• in a bunch: beef, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, french bread (accidental -- she grabbed it off a table at MeliMelo, our favorite creperie). We're giving her more chuncks, which she doesn't always like.
• ricotta, kiwi, strawberries, graham crackers, peaches
• now that she's 11 months, the foods have been cascading, including blueberries, raspberries, cherries, crackers, pitas, goat cheese, ....
