Today's New Food: Cherries

This morning Carter tried cherries. I made a puree yesterday by boiling about 1/2 lb of pitted cherries in a cup of water and then throwing the mix into the blender. The resulting puree looks like it's going to stain everything it touches!


So this morning I mixed the cherries with Carter's oatmeal.


He seemed to think it was yummy.


A little out of focus, but here's the "I'm getting full" move ...


Carter hasn't been trying as many new foods lately because I've been more focused on mixing the foods he's tried together. Like tonight he had a chicken-cheese-broccoli mix.

I also tricked Carter into eating a finger food other than Cheerios. I mixed in mini-chunks of cheese with the Cheerios on his tray this afternoon and he happily ate both.
