First Fruit----Apples!

I made Owen's first baby food.  I have been anxiously awaiting doing this.  So, the Saturday after he turned 6 months was finally the day!  I let him check out the apples before we cooked them.  He was ready!
I let him smell and taste the cut apple and he first made a funny face then he started sucking away.  We got so carried away with the whole experience that we forgot to take a picture of him actually eating the apple baby food.  I don't really know whether liked the apples or not.  He didn't have much of a reaction. 
Here is my book and the finished product.  Each cube is about an ounce.  I froze them then put them in a ziplock and each day I can just thaw out a cube.  Making Owen's food was really fun and satisfying.  I am by no means a health nut or organic but I have to say that it feels good knowing exactly what I am feeding him and where it came from.  Hopefully, he will grow up healthy and with much better eating habits than his mother.
