Making Baby Food Butternut Squash!

Yesterday I made Butternut squash for my little boy.

It was my first time making this.. ever.. ha!

I first washed it under cold water and dried it.

 Then cut the ends off...

 Then in half... It's like a pumpkin, ha!

 Scoop out seeds and peel it. My littler peeler was not that great so I ended up using a knife to peel it.

 I chopped it up and put it in my steam pot. (you can use your regular stove stop steamer )

 Let it cool then blend! I added about 1oz -2oz water. Add more or less depending on how thick or thin you want your puree.

 I then filled up my little containers and placed some in the fridge and some in the freezer. I read that in the fridge pre-made baby food is good for 2-3 days.

Yummy!

 Kristian loved it! I gave it to him for lunch and dinner yesterday and will do the same today!

We have tried, Avocado, Banana, Carrots, and Butternut squash!

A couple weeks ago I entered in this giveaway from Stephanie over at http://www.howtosurvivelifeinthesuburbs.com/2012/04/nutrition-on-go-go-with-gerber.html

 And I won it!!!! whooooooo!

 Gerber graduates products! I'm familiar with these because my niece loved so many of these goodies. Look at all these goodies!!! All the items are for 9 months plus, so we need to wait a little bit before we try them. But we are excited.

 Happy boy!

Kris will be 6 months Sunday! As of this week he is 15lbs! :)
