baby mixing

We're still cooking up Aiden's food. He usually eats in increments of number of ice cubes. He has occasionally had a jar of food when we're on the go and it's difficult to carry ice cubes. He really seems to like the meat dinners from earth's best and the green veggie mixes from organic baby. I've tried to keep a good variety around, but it seems like he goes through some of his favorites faster than others. Right now he's loving spinach, squash, cantaloupe, plum, and blueberry. He also has some mama grain, carrot, quinoa, black bean, mango, and prune on the menu. I added a new three tray batch of pear and lentils recently.

His true favorite is banana (fresh mash easy!), but it seems that his least favorite is avocado (too bad because that would also be easy). He's also not too keen on strong flavored fruits which even includes apple (another that would be easy). J laughs that he will eat spinach mixed with prune, but aw applesauce is ick?! He does like his unique mixes. I'm glad that he managed to get dad's veggie lover gene.

He was a great tester for the Mixing Table's new petite baby mixes. This is the place I like to go with my friends to mix up freezer meals. They are now making fresh organic baby foods! They are making finger foods too, which are little balls of dried grains mixed with veggies and fruit. He was very good about helping test out the consistency as he nibbled, gnawed, and crumbled some of them. He wasn't as good about sitting in my lap and wanted to stand on the back of the chair - which then led to him stringing his little chubby thigh through the horizontal slats. Oh, good thing we got the test subject unstuck from the chair. At least if he was stuck there, they'd have plenty of wholesome treats for him.
