I am making my own baby food. Yes, I may be a little crazy to add one more thing to my list of things to do but it really is very easy and we usually have food left over from our organics delivery each week, so it makes sense. So far I have made a batch of plums and a batch of apples.

Of course Samuel is not eating solids yet. He is making do with copious litres of milk and formula. I can’t keep up with him on the milk front so we are having to supplement at daycare. Such a different experience to the one we had with Thomas. I always had a surplus of breast milk in the freezer and I even found a huge unopened can of formula in the cupboard the other day that we never needed (about $30 worth). Instead Samuel sucks it down like his life depends on it.

I am starting on the baby food making early in the hope that I will have a freezer stacked with food that can last him at least a couple of weeks after he starts on solids. Although the way this kid is eating I may have trouble keeping up with that too.
