we like it RAW

My dad is a purist. Sort uh. He loves raw milk-- swears by its health benefits, and in theorywould probably like to eat a purely healthfood diet which in his opinion is eating raw. RAW. So, when I told him Josie has been sick on and off for quite a while he told me just start feeding her raw foods. "Just grind em up in the blender" he said, "you'll keep all the nutrition."

"Sweet potato raw?"

"Raw peas?" (they always give me a scratchy throat)

hmm... Well, I do seem to spend most of my time cooking up apples and straining pears so that Josie can have some good natural foods. I don't buy much baby food at all-- rice cereal seems to be the only non-raw food she gets.

So here's my concession Dad-- Josie eats raw.

she loved chewing on the cauliflower though she didn't actually swallow any.
She decimated this banana, but wasn't interested in swallowing much. (5 am this morning, after crying for 2 hours to get up.)
at least she had fun. What next?
