Why Part 2

This is my daughter, Christa. She is 9 months old and I feed her real pureed foods.

She eats organic oatmeal for breakfast. For lunch and dinner she eats any of the following pureed foods: kidney beans, chicken, pork, ham, spinach, green beans, sweet peas, and sweet potatoes.

Every other week or so I try to introduce her to a new food. Carrots did not go over very well. :)

In every case, I try to choose, when available, organic, free-range, antibotic free, hormone free, grass-fed foods. Since this stuff can be mighty expensive, for the moment, my family (my husband and my adult stepdaughter) eats the hormoned, pesticided, and generally available crap. I do intend on switching the rest of the family to eat like my baby girl, but I admit it will take some doing. But I am committed.

In the meantime, it's more important that I make sure Christa starts eating right from the start. My husband and I both feel we will sacrifice what we can to make sure she grows up healthy, happy, well-adjusted, and most importantly, loved. And part of that is the food!
