Today would have been my Gramma's birthday.
I really wish she could have met my angel baby.
But, then maybe she did.

Hello Tiny Giraffe. Pictures Galore!!
Today's milestone:
Cassie held onto and played with her first toy!!
The tiny giraffe made by Grandma :) She shook it all around, held it up to her face, managed to get it into her mouth (which led the the funniest "this tastes awful" face) and then just held it to her. It was clenched in her tiny fist for at least 20 minutes before she let go.
It is so fun watching her figure things out!

This one is MY favorite <3

Day 4
Just a quick update:
So the other night produced a one gallon Ziploc bag full of Sweet Apple Pumpkin baby food cubes and one tiny snack sized bag of Apple Raspberry cubes. Tonight so far we have one full tray of Cinnamon Sweet Potato Banana. The blender needs to cool off for a while now and baby had a super dirty diaper to take care of so we are letting Tiny eat and relaxing with some How I Met Your Mother.
Next up blending the rest of the straight up sweet potatoes.
Sorry sweetie. The other banana is all mine! :)

Day 3 of Adventures in Homemade Baby Food
There are two batches of Sweet Pumpkin Apple made and freezing in ice cube trays. Plus a tiny batch of Apple Raspberry, using some of the freeze-dried raspberries I have pureed into apple sauce. I need more apple sauce and more veggies before I can make anymore. I'm thinking of doing my own recipe and adding banana to the next batch of pumpkin apple. It sounds good to me and it'll be one more variety for her to try.
To expand: Today is Day 3 and you are probably (or maybe not) wondering what happened to Day 2? It didn't disappear. I wore myself out to much to make a post yesterday.
Even though the recipe called for a Pie Pumpkin, I decided to give it a go with the one I hadn't gotten around to carving. It was still good so I didn't see why not! I cut it in half; scooped out the seeds and slimy entrails; placed it cut side down on a cookie sheet and baked it. It took somewhere between 40 minutes and an hour at 400 degrees.
When it was cool enough to work with I started chopping it up bit by bit, removing the skin. Most of it was placed into a large Rubbermaid container to work with as I could.
