Even Elijah wants special Christmas foods! After confessing to my wonderful pediatrician that I sometimes let Elijah gum my pizza crusts and not being chastised, I feel a little more confident letting Elijah eat things. Today he gummed a wagon-wheel-shaped corn puff with carrots...blugh! He loved it because he could hold it and smear it all over his face, as seen below.
"Where did it go? I am not done yet!"

He looks so confused in the last picture... and is he sitting up by himself?? Yea, Elijah! I have asked for a food processor for Christmas so I can try making some baby food. What do you do when you are out of the house though? How do you travel with homemade baby food?

A food processor is on my Christmas list as well~:-)
Right now I am freezing all his food into little ice cubes (1 oz each). So, when we are going somewhere close by I just put the frozen cube in a little tupperware. It is usually still almost frozen by the time he needs to eat. When we went out of town I just packed everything in a little ice chest. The cubes stay frozen really well. Travelling with baby food has been a lot easier than I thought it would be!
