Pear & Raspberry Baby Food Puree
Pear & Raspberry Puree makes a flavorful baby food and is high in fiber, vitamin C, and potassium!
We’re off to Lake Wenatchee for our first family photos! We have our outfits picked out, Hanky Pank got his first haircut (no more adorable baby mullet), and my hair is no longer blue (read more about that debacle here).
Getting our baby boy ready for his first family pictures reminds me of so many firsts, some captured in photos, most not. First smiles and giggles, first trips and holidays, first bites and favorite foods. A little bittersweet really! But this Pear & Raspberry Puree is nothing but sweet.
Hanky Pank has always loved pears. Pear Puree is perfect for introducing solids as it’s gentle on baby’s little tummy. Raspberries are fun to mix in once your baby is ready to experiment with New Flavors. In addition, this puree is high in fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.
So fingers crossed Hanky Pank naps in the car on the way and is all smiles when he wakes up. I can’t wait to get some great pictures of his cute smile, long lashes, and chubby cheeks!
