Starting Solids!


Reese is now 6 months old, and she got her 1st taste of solid foods!  We skipped over the whole rice cereal thing and jumped right into organic avocado.  Yummy!  Avocado is a great 1st food for babies.  Supposedly they are the perfect food... they have everything in them you need to live... and tons of Omega 3s (brain food!)  I am making all of Reese's baby food in hopes of saving money, feeding her only organic foods, and being able to feed her unique things, like avocado, that you can't find in the jarred store bought baby food.  
   

Reese seemed to really like the avocado.  She especially liked the spoon.  She also kept trying to take the bowl out of my hands, but I really don't feel like cleaning avocado off of my walls, so she'll have to keep her hands off the bowl for now.  :-)




In a few days we'll offer her something besides avocado... probably organic sweet potato.

I can't believe Reese is already in a high chair and eating food! She looks like she really likes it, too!

How crazy!?! Andy is 6 months old today and we are going to start organic sweet potatoes and avacodes. They will be his first food. Mark and I were going to use some of our Babies R Us gift card this weekend to buy the SAME high chair. Do you like it? I have researched them and gone to the store to "play" with it. That one is my favorite. What are your thoughts?
