So easy baby food and six months stats

We are making Raelee's baby food and are loving it! We made this decision based on two reasons:
1. Cost, it's waaayyy cheaper.
2. Health, did you know baby food jars can be 3 or more years old before you're feeding it to your baby? Also, all the preservatives that go into the jars, yuck!
Now I am not a cook, Brad usually does all our cooking(lucky me). So I was a little hesitant and overwhelmed feeling when it came to making Raelee's food. Plus, there are so many foods that can't be introduced until a certain age, etc. I took a class at Best Beginnings
and bought the so easy baby food kit there. This book breaks it down and really does make it so easy! So far Rae has had bananas, apples, sweet potatoes, pears, oatmeal, and tonight she'll start butternut squash(which I had never tasted in my life until today. It's pretty good). I have so much fun cooking her food, maybe I'll start cooking grown up food too, maybe :)
Raelee's 6 month appt was Wed. Here's her stats:Ht 25 inches-20%, Wt 14lbs 15 oz-30%, HC 43.8 cm-90%. This girl sure has a big noggin! At least its down from the 92%, which is what it was at 4 months. She has hit all her developmental milestones. She loved going to the appt, everyone was giving her so much attention. And she barely even cried with her shots! Such a big girl
