Sweet potatoes for my sweet potato

Yesterday Madi turned 5 months and that was when I wanted to start her on soilds.  We originally did'n't want to introduce her to them until she was very close to 6 months but I knew she was ready for them.  So today for lunch Madisyn had her first real solid food (besides rice and oatmeal).  I decided to have her try sweet potatoes first because I heard that's what a lot of people first started with and their babies LOVED it.

So this morning I got up and went to the grocery store and bought fresh sweet potatoes and came home baked them and pureed them up.  It was SO simple! (thanks to my awesome new Ninja food processor- which I highly recommend).  I'm excited to be making all of her baby food.  It's healthier for her and I know how it is getting made because I'm the one doing it!  It doesn't take much time either.  Everyone should do, you can save so much money!!

She seemed to like them.  I think when I started to give it to her she was more tired so kind of got fussy towards the end.  We will try again tomorrow and see how she does.  Then I think in 4 days (since there is the 4 day wait rule to make sure there are no allergic reactions to a certain food) we are going to try bananas :)
