Charlotte is getting so big these days. She's standing up when we hold her hands, she's starting solids...it's crazy times. I've told her to slow down some, but she won't listen:)
Charlotte has eaten rice and oatmeal cereals, sweet potatoes and avocado. So far she likes them all. I'm making her baby food and I'm really excited about it. I've gotten a few strange looks when I've told people that I'm making it. But let me clarify- I'm not a 'crunchy mom' ...you know the ones that breastfeed for like 5 years, only use cloth diapers and make their baby organic purees ....not that there's anything wrong with those moms. I like those moms but they get a bad rep of judging other moms who feed their babies poison (aka baby formula and jarred baby food).... All that to say I'm making her food purely because I just enjoy cooking and want to cook for Charlotte. I don't think anything is wrong with canned babyfood. And I'm sure part of my desire to make it may possibly be rooted in my working mom guilt haha. who knows.
So far I'm really enjoying it. For the sweet potato we went to the local farmer's market (I know, I sound crunchy) and picked out th eperfect tater.... Well almost. We walked around forever in the hot sun getting other things and finaly as an after thought we bought the sweet potato at the last and most shady booth there. The sales lady was smoking, the guy unloading was about 100 years old and wearing blue jeans without underwear (just trust me on this one) and there was a screaming baby in the back of their vegatable trailor. Yikes. But she were too tired to go back around to the other vendors. So yeah.... we got her the best sweet potato ever. haha 
The avocado was cool because it was soo easy-just mash it.

I made squash for her to eat this morning. I'm excited about it because it came from my mom's garden. I mean it just doesn't get much fresher than that!
A little steam action. Then blend it up with my stick blender. The pour it and freeze. presto.
Welp that was a lot of fun. I'll let you know how she likes the squash.
Next weekend I'm thinking we will try banana,pear, or green bean... hmm can't decide. I'm laening towards banana though....
Keep me updated on what she eats when and what you like making/don't like making. I'm planning on making Hannah's food when the time comes. I'm like you, about as un-crunchy as they come, but I enjoy cooking and why not do it for her too! Plus, I think I'm going to have the "if I'm home, I better be making her food" attitude. It's the same, but different. =)
