Baby Food

This past month we ventured into the world of baby food. There were a lot of reasons we wanted Kylie to be exclusively breastfed for the first six months, so we waited until April to start any solids. Since then, we have introduced something new about once a week with varied success. She had her first taste of cereal on April 2nd so I could gauge her reaction before her six-month pediatrician visit the next day. 

Not sure why I got a new chair, but I'm pretty excited about it 

Oh, what is this? 

Just kidding, I actually love this stuff! 

She was on board right away with oatmeal (we bypassed rice cereal and started with something a bit tastier.) She would get a big smile on her face and kick her feet excitedly after every bite. After about the first two days she would also lunge for the spoon to help us out.

Let me at it! 

Eating with dad for the first time.
He gets flustered when I stick my hands in my mouth like this.

We introduced veggies on April 12th and she immediately lost any faith she had in us feeding her. A couple tastes of peas and she was not about to open her mouth again. Needless to say she was not a fan...

Ugh, why momma? We had such a good thing going 

Seriously, I do NOT like this

In the weeks since we have tried squash, carrots, and green beans. Without a doubt, squash is her favorite food so far. She will also eat carrots, but is still undecided about green beans. Ryan is determined that his daughter will like vegetables as much as he does though, so we will keep trying. Next up is my favorite, fruits.
