solids

The munchkin started solids a little while ago so the link Seshu sent me was more relevant than expected. An NYT piece about great toys included a bit about a food grinder. While we haven't got the grinder yet, it does look like a nice thing to have.

We like to eat healthy and want the kid to do the same; as a result, we've elected to ensure most of his foods are home prepared rather than bottled. Don't get me wrong, the bottled foods are nice, but we ran out of choices pretty quick since -- for now -- rohan is a vegetarian.

So the food mill might be an easier way to grind up the tasty morsels of food we're shoveling in Rohan's mouth. Well, at least somewhat easier than the current hand mashing. However, we have just picked up a nice food processor so it has become significantly easier to grind up potatoes and spinach for dinner.

Best of all -- in a month or so I'm going to need some dental work and i'll be eating the same foods for a couple of days. Wonder if L will feed me too :-)
