Mmmm is what Eliza says to food. I know, so 6 months is the magic age for starting baby food, but I've also read that if the baby seems interested and can sit in a highchair they may be ready to try food. So, I decided to give it a shot. Tonight's first food: Squash. She loved it! In fact she was mad when it was all gone. I figured if I start with veggies then go to the fruits she won't get stuck on the sweets right off. I do have to say that it is amazing how things change and new products come out in such a short time. In the three year difference of doing all this with Finley, there are some handy new gadgets. I've found that the line 'Boon' and 'Sassy' have some good starters. Boon has this great spoon called 'Squirt,' (it's the big pink one in the picture) you pour the baby food in the big pink handle, screw the spoon top on, and squeeze the handle and the food slowly comes out on the spoon. It's a great on the go item, you put in the food, put the cap on the spoon and one less item to carry in the endless diaper bag. Ok, so I may like finding new treasures, but anything that makes my life that much easier (and yes organized) I'm for it. On the menu for tomorrow, pears for breakfast, and peas for dinner. It's amazing, I have one little girl who is super picky and have to beg to eat, the other, dying to try anything I'll give her. I love my girls!!

Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you reminded me of that spoon! I saw it a while ago and totally forgot about it. I've totally got to get one asap. One less thing to shlep to Cherry Hill :)
Also, you'll love the mesh- binki looking teether thing (i don't know the official name of it - it's in the picture) I put all sorts of fruits and veggies inside and let Layla have at it and she loved it!!! And I didn't have to worry about her choking.
You're the cutest mom. Love ya
