Yum Yum in my Tum Tum...Kinda! :)

I know...I know...I am really behind on my blog posts over here, but there has been a lot going on in our household over the past 3 weeks. The first thing I must write about is Everly's introduction to solid foods. Danny and I had been waiting for what seemed like FOREVER for the day when we could finally give her food for the first time, so of course we caught her first few bites on camera when the big day arrived. I'll let you watch the videos below and judge for yourself whether or not Everly was impressed with her first taste of solid food.

In all fairness since rice cereal was first on the menu I can't say I really blame her for gagging because that stuff tastes like cardboard.

I am happy to report that her reaction to apples, oatmeal, and sweet potatoes was much more positive. It is so much fun watching her experience new things each day. So far she seems to really be enjoying meal time and we only hope that this trend continues as we expand her food options. Next up on the menu are avocados, bananas, and carrots.

On a side note: Preparing baby food each week has also become one of my favorite new activities too. Everly's godfather, Trent, bought us a baby food maker for Christmas this year and it has proved to be one of the best gifts we have received thus far. I feel like Martha Stewart when I am steaming and pureeing organic fruits and vegetables in my kitchen. When I was making apples the other day I had a flash back to the Diane Keaton movie from the 80s where she leaves her corporate job after adopting a baby and moves to the country only to start a successful homemade baby food company. Who knows...maybe Danny and I will trade in our city lives one day and move to the country. Can't you just see us living on a farm and growing our own fruits and veggies? Green acres might just be the place for us! :)
