I intended for this to be a post about eating local, farm-fresh foods, but today is turning out to be pretty insane for me. So instead, its just a show and tell of a cutie patootie picture of Penelope eating her new favorite: blackberries!
I was going to ask about the blackberries but Rachel beat me to it - and what is she eating them out of? We haven't had much luck with the mesh feeder so far.
I got them from our local farmers market. If you are local, its the one on Wednesday's at Lake Ella. Turkey Hill Farm grew them. They are about to be done harvesting them, if they are not done already.
I pureed them up, but left the consistency pretty chunky. I put the puree in an empty baby food glass container. When we were on vacation the other week, I had bought some Earth's Best organic baby food to see what she would do. Then I just reused the jar. She was so excited about blackberries that she wanted to take the jar and lick it!
She mostly eats finger foods, but I have been spoon feeding her one thing a day. Mostly egg yolk, but other things too. Tonight I made a beet puree that she sorta liked.
@Carolyn...what have you been putting in the mesh feeder?
Great picture and great timing for me :-)... We just fed our first non-milk food (bananas) earlier this evening. Food is definitely an adventure I look forward to!
Adorable!!! Where did you get the blackberries from?
