Sweet Potato Bliss!

Today was a big day in the life of Luke. Today, Luke ate his first solid food....sweet potatos. His doc said that since he is so big and was grabbing at my dinner plate it was time to start. I decided that it would be fun to make his first meal myself. Here are the steps in which I made the yummy meal followed by pictures of Luke eating.

First I pealed, cut and boiled the sweet potatos.



Then I strained them...


Now onto the baby food mill which made it look like little worms coming out of the top.

Finally, using the water that they were cooked in, I mixed it all up... yummy! :)

The bowl was given to Luke by his Great Grandmother (Gramci) and has his initals LNB on it. The baby spoon matches my sterling silver and was given to Luke by his Grandy.

Here is Luke eating his first solid food! I did not know when to stop because he kept eating so much. I thought that he would spit it out but he swallowed it!

and Dad cleaning him up. I forgot to put a bib on him... a rookie mistake.
