Jack and I visited the farmer's market this morning. He slept through it all, but got compliments on how cute he is from one of our favorite vendors. =) I bought corn, carrots, tomatoes (from 2 different vendors - I try to purchase something from all our faves), green onions, a cantaloupe (super yummy - we've already eaten half!), peaches, plums, and apricots. And those 2 green things with tentacles in the top right corner are kohlrabi. One of the vendors recommended it last year, and Jon loves it (me, not so much). It's kind of like a cross between a turnip and radish. I've started thinking about making babyfood for Jack (we're still a few months away I know). For anyone who has done this and frozen it, how long does the quality stay good when frozen? Right now, and for the next probably 3 months, we will have lots of yummy local produce, but Jack will be 6 months adjusted (and starting to eat fruits/veggies) in mid-November, when gardens and farms will be frozen here and stay dormant until May/June. I'd like him to get to try the yummy flavors of in-season produce, rather than mealy January peaches. Anyone have experience with freezing baby food? I'm thinking of doing it in October, when the last of the produce is available, so that it will have the shortest possible freezer time.
In other news, Jack is "helping" to hold his bottle. Often this consists of him inadvertently pushing the bottle out of his mouth, but it's still very cute.
He's also laughing and smiling a lot - especially if you make silly faces or repeat his breathy "ahhs and ooohs" back to him.

We froze our nectarines one year. They were mushy when they thawed, but would probably mash up okay for baby food.
