Mini-Mikey Likes It

I haven't posted a food update lately and I must say there has been a lot of pureed food introduced and consumed in the last few weeks and months.

Grayson pretty much likes anything and everything that can be pureed and served on a spoon.

I'm making all of his food except for rice cereal, oatmeal and some all natural applesauce that I found. I don't really have the heart to puree meat, so we bought jars of pureed beef and ham. I was nervous about feeding him regular baby food chicken because of Michael's poultry allergy, so I bought some all natural chicken in a can and Michael got up the guts to put it in the food processor.

Luckily, Grayson has had two meals with chicken and he hasn't had an allergic flare up. We'll have to keep a watchful eye because Michael's allergy began as stomach pains and didn't fully turn in to anaphilactic shock until his early teens.

As you can see from the photo above, our freezer has become a rainbow of food cubes. Here's a list of his current culinary repertoire:

Carrots
Squash
Corn
Sweet potato
Cauliflower
Zucchini
Peas
Green beans
Edamame
Avocado
Bananas
Applesauce
Peaches
Strawberries
Pineapple
Pears

Pears are his favorite, but he eats everything really well. Peas and edamame are probably his least favorite, yet tolerable. We did have to cut back on the pineapple because it seemed to cause some acid reflux and spit up.

Fingers crossed, Grayson will continue to be a good eater throughout life. I have a feeling once he can talk and communicate more he may get other ideas.
