Solids

Lily is finally eating solids! I had started her right at 6 months, but into her 2nd veggie she got sick so I decided to stop until she was better. I didn't think she would enjoy it or be able to taste her yummy foods. So far she's had sweet potatoes, green beans, and peaches. She just finished up her 4 days of peaches. Next up, butternut squash! I've been making her food for her (not the peaches, Jill made those). Today I made butternut squash, peas, and carrots! The peas were yummy, but I feel bad that she's going to have to eat the squash and carrots...yuck! Without some sort of seasoning or delicious butter, it's not so yummy. I've been using the website www.wholesomebabyfoods.com for recipes and helpful hints. When I say "recipe" all I really mean is steaming/baking directions. Anyway, I'm excited to be able to start giving her food, I think she's really ready. She grabs at whatever I'm eating or drinking and sometimes it looks like she's chewing when she's watching me eat. She also got a new high chair from her grandmother Nora, it's super nice!
