We have introduced peas to Julia. The bright green all over her face is too cute to not take a photo of. While she has had peas for 3 meals now, she still hasn’t grasped the concept.

Each meal has brought a new hindrance to success. Today’s was that everything in the room is more interesting than watching the spoon come to your mouth. She would look down with her mouth open and all of the food would just fall out of her mouth. It was funny the first five times it happened.

I can go back to just plain cereal, but I was ready for something new. Emily enjoyed making Julia’s food with me. She keeps talking about it and announcing that Julia is eating peas. Peas are not Emily’s favorite food, but she ate a lot of them while we were making the baby food.

We have been trying cereal for a little over a week and just yesterday we had the most success at eating. Julia ate just over two tablespoons of sticky, thick baby food cereal at one sitting. She spit a little of it out, but at the end of the meal the bowl was scrapped clean and she had eaten it all.

(10 months) Emily has celebrated her first Thanksgiving! We spent the afternoon and evening playing at Grammy and Granddaddy’s house. She sat with the big people at the table and ate the big people’s sweet potatoes, white potatoes, dressing, and cherry jello. Then after her nap she joined the big people again at the table and enjoyed eating Mommy’s pumpkin pie with whipped cream topping. Yum! That is how you are to enjoy Thanksgiving – with family eating good food.

(6 months) We have been introducing food to Emily. We have given her cereal, green beans, peas, and squash. While she is not always in the mood to eat, she seems to like everything that we have given her so far. When we first gave her green beans she made the funniest faces as she tasted the food. Today we are going to introduce carrots. I wonder if she will like it?
