Nicole's First Solid Food

The day Nicole turned 6 months old, we tried to feed her solid food.  Technically, it wasn't her first solid food (she had eaten a couple cereal puff things already), but this was her first meals of solids, kind of.  We attempted sweet potatoes and avocado.  I hate baby food.  It seriously makes me want to puke, even if I am not pregnant, so we don't buy it.  Plus, it is super expensive for the amount of food you get.  I also hate spoon feeding.  I am all for baby-led weaning.  We fed her a little on the spoon, and then let her go at it.  Jared made a huge mess, but still managed to eat quite a bit on his own.  Nicole didn't even attempt to feed herself, but she LOVED playing in the food.  She was having the time of her life!  Her tongue-trust reflex is still pretty strong so we probably won't be feeding her any more solids for a while.  She just doesn't seem to be ready.

We have a video of her first impression of eating, but apparently it is over the 100 mb limit...so sad!  I don't know how to trim it down.


Getting ready!

I feel like a big girl eating from a spoon, but please take the food away and just give me the spoon.

Wow!  Food flies off the plate if I bang it on the tray!

Is this how I eat?

Ok, I am done.

Well, that was fun...as long as I get a bath afterwards!

This video isn't super great, but at least you get so see her reaction to foods a little bit.
