Introduction to Solid Foods 101

Two weeks ago we introduced Ella's first real solid food (other than cereal and oatmeal). I was a bit skeptical at first as to weather she would take to it but she did so like a champ! I first had her try it plain without being mixed in the oatmeal and she just made the cutest sour puss face. After a few tastes she decided that she really liked it. From there I mixed it into the oatmeal to see if she would take it and she sure did. Ella's introduction to solid foods started with applesauce and boy she just couldn't get enough of it. As fast as I was shoveling it in she would want more. If I tried to give her a quick break she would get really mad and start throwing a tantrum. I just couldn't help myself from laughing hysterically.

This past Saturday we introduced her to sweet potatoes. Ella decided that this time the only way she would take the sweet potatoes would be if it wasn't mixed in with anything else. She loves the solids so much that she just wants the fruits and veggies alone, with nothing else. Again, you couldn't shovel the food in fast enough!

I also broke out her booster chair yesterday (I honestly forgot we had it as we have been using the bouncy seat). She does great in it and looks like a big girl. We are so excited to be able to eat together as a family where we can feed her her baby food and we can eat our big people food at the same time.
