Yummers!

Monica has started eating solids. Why do the proverbial "they" call it solids when there is nothing solid about what you feed a baby in the beginning? That's it, I'm changing that here and now. Everyone adopt the expression starting mush. Much more accurate. We want to teach our kids to tell the truth right!

 Start over.  Monica has started eating mush!  And by eating, I mean lapping up mush.  She doesn't seem particularly interested in the mush and will only take about 6 licks of anything in one sitting.  So far we have discovered that she will not take rice cereal or peas.  She will take oatmeal, sweet potatoes, carrots, zucchini, apple and banana.  Her favorite by far is the sweet potato.  We are going to try green beans and yellow squash next.  She also likes to help us feed her so after her six licks, we let her play around with the spoon.  We expect she'll be feeding herself soon. ;o)
