Carrots!

First, a picture for my youngest sister (and everyone else that knows the story of how we decided to have two babies in one year).


I've decided to be a little more diligent in giving R baby food. I got her for her 6 month well check a month late and they asked about food. I think I had fed her oatmeal and bananas at that point. Not that there's anything wrong with that. We had planned to wait until she was 6 months to start her anyway so she wouldn't have had much in the first place. But, since I know you shouldn't delay feeding solids much past 6 months (and I have a husband on my case about not giving her "real" food often enough) I decided to get my behind in gear and start feeding her.

Today was carrots. Poor girl had them for lunch and then again for dinner. She started out kind of unsure about them, but by the end of the container (at lunch) she was grabbing the spoon.

At dinner time she was in the pack 'n' play while I made dinner for the other kids. Finally, it was her turn. When I picked her up out of the pack 'n' play she practically jumped out of my arms into the high chair.

She was excited. And she ate the whole thing in record time.

(after dinner--she's either wiping her mouth or eating the carrots off the bib)
