Homemade baby food

It has been a longtime since my last post!
My baby is already 7 months old, and he still sticks to his mamma's milk! Well I started giving him rice cereal when he was 6 months old. 
Since then every day he sits on his high chair around 11am. Today finally for a first time I could give him all the amount I made (1/4 bowl), and he didn't refuse at all! 
I started giving him fruit almost same time as I started cereal. He loves banana, papaya, pear, apple, watermelon in another hand he likes fruit. I suppose most of the babies like them. 
Well I was totally scared when he poop banana! and I had to stop it till I asked his doctor if it is ok. It is OK! He poop anything I give to him almost the same shape. 
I decided to be a good mom and make him a fresh homemade food.
I did made some dishes already. I'll post the recepies of them next time when I make again. 
Today I made sweet broccoli dish. 
It is a fast and super easy dish to make!
Broccoli is a good source of vitamins and minerals:
 BROCCOLI: (1 cup - steamed)
VITAMINS:
Vitamin A - 2415 iu 
Vitamin C - 101.2 mg 
Niacin - .86 mg 
Folate - 168 mcg 
Vitamin E - 2.26 mg 
Vitamin K - 220 mg 
Contains some other vitamins in small amounts.
MINERALS:
Potassium - 457 mg 
Phosphorus - 105 mg 
Magnesium - 33 mg 
Calcium - 62 mg 
Sodium - 64 mg 
Selenium - 5.7 mg 
Iron - 5.5 mg 
Contains zinc, manganese and others

Ingredients:
1- 3 to4 stalk of broccoli
2- a medium size carrot 
3- a slice of papaya 

Wash broccoli under cool water. Chop stems and florets into small pieces; using just the florets will many times yield a smoother puree. Steam until tender.  
Add a steam and soft carrot and a raw slice of papaya, place into your choice of appliance for pureeing and begin pureeing. 
Add water as necessary to achieve a smooth, thin consistency. 

       
My baby loves it !!!
