Gerber Organic Garden Vegetables with whole wheat pasta

Don't let the fancy name fool you. Mommy told me the truth. This is peas and carrots with pasta. It passed my smell test, so I opened my mouth and tried it. It was okay I guess, but I wasn't going nuts for it.  Lucky for Mommy I was hungry so I ate it all gone. She told me that we have several packages of this, and she'll add some plain cooked chicken to it next week for me.  She and Sissy keep talking about this "meat" stuff. I need to try it.

Happy Baby Organic banana, beet and blueberry

This one was a taste surprise! I smelled it and opened my mouth to try it right away- but it was a shock! Mommy said it must be "tart" because of the face I made every time I got a mouth full- at first I wasn't sure what I thought of it, but I kept opening for more. Mommy as laughing really loud at me while I was eating it and said I was making the most hilarious faces.  By the end of the bowl I decided that I liked it!  Maybe we will eat the rest of it tomorrow.

Plum Organic zucchini, banana & amaranth

Oh My Goodness!!!!
This one smelled so interesting that I opened my mouth right away. Mommy says it smells like something called zucchini bread, and I could try that next year.  She put a little oatmeal in this again to make it thicker.  But I ate it all gone, and I made sure to make lots of noise so Mommy would know how much I liked it, and I had to get on her a couple times for not feeding me fast enough. Daddy told Mommy to save some for Sissy's  gecko, I'm gonna have to discuss that with him.  I don't know how I feel about sharing this goodness with something I can't even play with. Maybe I can work out a trade, because we'll be getting this one again!

**Update- My friend Paulie Coconuts got to eat this today 7/13- his mommy reports that he ate this all gone by sucking it straight from the pouch!!   Then he yelled at his daddy for his dinner. heehee... 



Happy Baby Organic spinach, mango and pears

No thank you.

This was the very first time that I ever turned anything down.  It really didn't smell like anything- so I almost didn't open my mouth.  It really didn't taste like anything either.  None of the flavors popped out, it was just mildly sweet.  I was looking forward to trying mango since I like blueberries so much. Mommy tried adding oatmeal to it, but I just kept turning my head away after about 5 bites. This was after the dribbling didn't work. She kept collecting what I was squirting out and giving it back. 

Mommy was disappointed because this is the first time she had ever purchased this brand.  She said it looked kind of weird too because there were tiny chopped up pieces of spinach mixed in with the oatmeal even though there wasn't much flavor.  Finally she wised up and just threw it out and gave me Gerber Peaches and Apples.   I gobbled that all up because I was hungry, and she thanked me for being polite enough to just turn my head away.   She said my sissy would have made her wear it.  I'm still trying to figure out what she means by that.

Gerber Organic Farmers Market Blend

mmmm...mmmm....mmmmm..... I had this one with rice mixed in.  What's not to like? Carrots, corn and tomato puree mixed together with some brown rice and oat flour. Mommy added in rice cereal to make it a little thicker for me.  I wasn't happy when it was all gone, so she gave me half a container of carrots to finish up . (They were ok... I guess. I still liked the first stuff better)    Mommy told me we were trying tomatoes and corn so that she could make me a gluten free, low acid pasta.  :)


Update! I had this for dinner 6/12/12 and I must say it is still one of my favorites! I made sure to be REALLY loud with my "MMMMM" sound so that she and Daddy could hear that I LOVE this one!!  I made the noise with every bite and rolled my eyes around, leaning forward for the spoon as soon as it came out of the bowl.  I really hope they got the hint. I LOVE this stuff!

Plum Organic- Broccoli and Pears

Keigans sister picked this out for him tonight. I think she just liked the fact that she was making him eat broccoli.  Again I found it thin for him, so mixed in some rice but it's probably just the brand overall.  And we all tasted it before he did- I  really wish broccoli tasted like that when I was a kid!!
The pears overpowered the broccoli, and my daughter is claiming " no fair" that Keigan gets to eat yummy broccoli.  *Shrug* He liked it- can't say loved, since he was much more quiet than usual, but he still ate it all.  IF I do this one again, I'll feed it to him at breakfast instead of dinner, and only fix half a pouch with something else as a side.

**Update**  Gas warning.   Poor kiddo was waking himself up a bit with gas last night!  Well- it is broccoli!!

Plum Organic Blueberry, Pear and Purple Carrot

Today's offering: Plum Organics Blueberry, Pear and Purple Carrot.  He's already been introduced to all of the ingredients just a new flavor combination.  This one came in a pouch, which was new for me, and honestly I found it pretty thin for Keigan's tastes, so I added the dry oatmeal right into it and mixed until it would hang on the spoon. It passed his smell test, and took two bites for him to start the arm stretching out, then his trademark- "mmmm" He LOVED it, ate the entire pouch and it was gone in record time, and there was barely a drop left on his bib.


**Update** He has had this one three other times and has devoured it each and every time making crazy good noises.

*Keigan's note-  My friend baby "P" loves this stuff too! We make our mommies very happy by liking the good stuff!
