We started Evie on solids as soon as we returned from our trip. First we tried rice cereal, which she was hardly impressed with. A few days later we gave her sweet potatoes, and she was a little more interested. It wasn't until we busted out the carrots the second week that she showed any enthusiasm and was eager for us to keep feeding her. Some days are certainly better than others, but for the most part she really just wants to chew on the spoon and rub food all over the place. Regardless, the expression on her face when she tries new flavors is priceless. It's as though we'd given her a shot of whiskey.
Love those days of discovering new foods! If you're making your own baby food, check out the Beaba Babycook...it makes homemade puree prep a breeze.
