...sweet potatoes....

so...moving along with the solids...after about a week of oatmeal cereal mixed with breast milk, we moved onto sweet potatoes...

which i made myself! i just bought 2 sweet potatoes, steamed them....let the water evaporate, so they burnt to a crisp...they ended up in the trash...so i bought 2 more sweet potatoes, steamed them (watched them closely this time)....then pureed them and froze them in ice cube trays! thats it! easy as pie.

i decided i would make her first solids...when she is just eating veggies or fruits...to save money and so i know what she is eating....we will see how it goes, but so far so good...except for the burnt sweet potatoes (which stink to high heaven!).

first spoon of sweet potatoes....she wants to do it herself, already trying to be miss independent!

ummmm.......



"not too sure about this mama..."

maybe.....

id rather just smile at daddy!

and get some on my cheek...

"oh, look....there are leaves and trees outside!!!"

she is very easily distracted....while breastfeeding and eating food....she IS HER FATHERS DAUGHTER!

"i guess sweet potatoes arent too bad"

we did sweet potatoes for 4 or 5 days...now we have moved onto yellow squash (i made!)...with the same results. shes still not a very eager eater....and is very easily distracted! and still does a lot of tongue thrust, if we cant get the spoon/food back past her tongue, she does great! and eats it right up...dang tongue!!!! but we are still working on it....shes getting a little better each time...im waiting for the day that we cant shovel it into her mouth fast enough....

and heres a pic just for fun....because i love taking close up pictures of her!
