Happy Friday, everyone!
It's a fabulous Friday in our world, and the baby is especially happen now that she's finished off today's new food adventure.
Isn't introducing solid foods fun? Yes, I know we're fast-forwarding a bit. Our pediatrician told us to go ahead with trying rice and oatmeal cereals when Spoiled Baby was just over 4 weeks old. According to the little handout she gave us, we were supposed to wait, then, until 6 months to start fruits and then 7 months to start vegetables.
And then Funny Daddy found baby food on sale at the grocery store. Despite the fact that we had planned on making our own baby food.
So he bought it...and she loved cereal...so we figured what the heck! Let's give it a try. If it upsets her tummy or makes her sick in any other way, we'd quit.
It's been a huge success, though! Baby LOVES LOVES LOVES bananas and apple sauce.
Prunes, however, were not quite a hit. In fact, the only good thing about trying that particular food was that it helped me to invent a new color: prune puke purple. Yeah, no go.
The last two foods we've tried have been the most adventurous, however.
With the first, every spoonful that goes in her mouth is followed by an awful gagging sound, a hideous face, and her tongue quickly poking the food back out.
With the second, she kept licking her lips and waited expectantly for each new spoonful to arrive. Unfortunately, she was having so much fun eating that she started blowing bubbles. Which then led to food being smeared all over her face and bib. But boy did she love it.
Spoiled baby is definitely a sweet potato fan...not a lover of peas!
What do your little ones like to eat best?
