So with her turning SIX months old yesterday came several things. The first was the plan to introduce baby food (starting with veggies and working our way up to bananas). I knew a bathie for her would SURELY follow so I wanted to wait til I had some quiet time-just for her. And if you have been to my house in recent months you will know that those moments are few and far!!
Luckily tonight Crosby had a soccer game and after Dad took the big girls to softball practice. While Crosby was playing outside with the neighbor kids I thought this would be a perfect time to have her first taste of "big girl" food! Little did I consider that I was the only big person home at the time and taking the MUST HAVE first footage proved to be a challenge so please Bear With the bouncy video!!!
Let's try some more!!
As you can see she just didn't love! I have read that it MAY take 3-4 times to introduce a new food to babies before they acclimate. AND that picky-ness and food dislike are ENVIRONMENTAL (excluding allergies) so I am planning to introduce this little one to a wide variety of goodness --cause we KNOW I have 2 pickies at my house and it makes for difficult meals at times!
Next up, more veggies...fruits...and white grape and apple juice (heavily diluted!!) I may even try my hand at some homemade organic baby food this summer. Wish us luck!
Yummy! It looks like she likes them! I've actually read you have to introduce up to 10x! I hope she's a great eater for you! I've made baby food before, definitely cheaper! With Konnor, since it appears we aren't dealing with any food issues, I plan to just mash up what we're having for dinner for him instead of doing much baby food.
