trip to vancouver to meet the cousins

more food making

McNeil Point hike

making baby food

katie and i making baby food
for the boys' first solids

we cooked the fruits and veggies down with a little water,
then pureed and strained before freezing
(note little Everett on the back!)
so nice they are now big enough to be on our backs,
since it's really hard to do things like this with them in the front.

the fruits: (L to R) peaches, plums, pears

the veggies: (top to bottom)
carrots, sweet potato, butternut squash

time for tasting the pears

cute spoons: bamboo and a little bunny spoon a friend
gave me from her children

sweet bunny (from Juanita)!

E trying the pears

P trying the pears

SUCCESS!!!
