SOLIDS!!

Its official, we started Ottavia on real food and its so much fun. I could not wait any longer, she would stare and watch as we ate dinner. On easter sunday i gave her a tiny taste of baked yam and she loved it..its was so miniscul. We finally bought a highchair and i started rice cereal last week, she hated it, so then i put some banana in it, that made it a little more appetizing, banana's were a hit alone, then I added som prunes to the rice cereal, I still got a few gag's..including myself. Today we gave her sweet potatoe again and she LOVED it. It was the first time she opened her mouth when she the spoon coming. I'm hoping that once we get on track with solids 3 times a day I can cut out the night feeding! Here's hoping...although that means one less snuggle with a sleepy baby :( She also loves the mum mum rice crackers...!!

I actually find the whole solids thing a bit confusing on what to give first, when to feed...etc but I got a guide in the mail from Hienz and its been VERY helpfull...I also think its mothers instinct. We are 2 weeks shy of 6 months so i figure we are ready.
