This was Adelaide's first week of solid foods (I use that term loosely). Inspired by the book Super Baby Food, we are making our own baby food - at least for the moment. Who needs jars anyway, right?? Adelaide is now a connoisseur of pureed oatmeal, sweet potatoes, and avocados (no, not together). Of course, she is related to her dad, so avocados are the biggest hit. We waited to start her on solids until she was 1. six months old, 2. could reliably sit up by herself, and 3. showed an interest in eating. To be honest, I was hoping for another week or two to get organized but she has her own schedule, and she was ready! (Apparently when babies start eating more often and stop sleeping through the night, it's time for solids.) And you have never seen someone get so excited about an ounce of squishy mush. From the very first meal, she loves to eat, especially when we are eating too. So she gets solid meals twice a day, and so far she puts more down her throat than she spits back out, so we think that's pretty good!

Only super baby food for a super baby like Ms. Adelaide!
Yay food! :) If you want to be ambitious some weekend and pre-make/freeze food, just let me know. I'd be happy to come help.
Way to go Adelaide,
You look like you are really enjoying the mush. I think you really look like your dad when you eat.
Love and hugs,
Grandma Nelly
I love seeing her grow up through this website; the pictures are a must. I am especially attracted to this comment, "Adelaide brings out happiness in everyone!" Her parents have taught her well! Love you guys.
