Another New Food ... Pears!

Today Carter tried pears. I peeled a pear, cut it into chunks, and then steamed it for about an hour. I then pureed it in a food processor so that it looked like apple sauce.


My face is sticky ...


I know you have more down there out of my reach!


Carter ate about half of the bowl - so about 1/4 of a pear. He didn't seem to hate it - no really funny faces or anything (except for the first spoonful when it was something he wasn't expecting). Carter just stopped opening his mouth and was a lot more interested in looking outside so I figured he was done.


That wasn't too bad!


I'm planning on trying to make green beans next. It sounds like they may be a little more difficult to puree thin enough with the skins but they are worth a try! Plus, I can just make extra when I make them for us one night for dinner so that will save a little time.
