With our new nanny here helping out for a couple of hours during the day, I have more time and energy to do things I imagine "good" moms should be doing. I got ambitious last night and decided to make some homemade baby food. I have a food processor and a hand blender. It’s not like I'm giving him normal food. In fact, I'm pureeing it beyond recognition. Here I was, thinking I was doing the healthy thing by making pure organic homemade food for Evan rather than that nasty mystery meat mixture that comes in the jars, and instead, I end up choking him. That’s right. He choked. Again. This is now the third time I've had to rip him from his highchair, flip him over, and pound on his back until he pukes. It’s bazaar. Anything even slightly more than a thick liquid is impossible for him to swallow. I had his pediatrician do an examination, fearful maybe he had some sort of esophageal malfunction, but no. He’s just determined to make me crazy with worry. There’s no esophageal malfunction. It’s user error.
