Making my own baby food

Today I made my first batch of homemade baby food! I made sweet potato puree for baby Gunner! He is almost five months old. At four months we started to give him rice cereal mixed with juice once a day. Now he is getting rice cereal mixed with mom milk twice a day. I had to revise how thick I was making the rice cereal (i was making it too thick) because he has started to become constipated... makes for a sad day for my baby Gunny. He also likes it better with the mom milk then with the juice. We still give him a little bit of juice because it helps with his lack of poopiness... but anyway I made my own baby food and Gun loved it! He practically licked the bowl, it was all gone! My dad got us the baby bullet system to help store homemade baby food and it is a really cool system. I have enough sweet potato for him till the end of the week. I can't wait to make him more. I love that I know what is in the food I am giving him! And I love to watch his face when he tries something new. At first he's not quite sure if he likes it... then he really gets into it and I can't get it into his mouth fast enough!
