Baby's First Taste

Another week has come and gone with few posts, sorry! Life has been a bit hectic in the Wheeler household lately. The babies started daycare last week, and within 48 hours of stepping their first feet into daycare, they both came down with colds. Their colds turned into my cold, which turned into Brady's ear infection. On top of that, poor Baby Brynne had to get her 6 month shots on Monday, so it has been a rough week so far!

One milestone arrived, however, and that is the introduction of solid foods into Brynne's diet. I am one of "those" breastfeeding mommies, so I was determined to follow the doctor's advice and not introduce solids until 6 months. "She doesn't need them before then and studies show it's better to wait, but most moms can't wait that long", said her doctor. Somehow, I managed to do it this time (only made it about 5 months with Brady), probably due to the craziness around the house and the fact that just breastfeeding is less complicated. Anyway, Brynne's first taste of real food arrived in the form of applesauce. She was less than impressed, to say the least, but it was highly entertaining to watch! Judge for yourself...

Here it comes! She looks ready...

Going in!

No problems getting her to bite down on the spoon, that's for sure...

"Wait, what was that Daddy?!"

"That was yucky! I just wanted to bite the spoon!"

"You're silly Daddy!"

And back out it came...

"Hmm, so that's what this thing was for..."

 

It's always fun celebrating the little things with the little ones. That's what life is all about for us right now. This moment may not seem like a big deal from the outside looking in, but for us (and for Brynne) it definitely was! We have since given her baby oatmeal and avocadoes. She disliked the oatmeal and it gave her a tummyache, but the avocadoes seemed to go over well. Tonight on the menu is bananas, we'll see how that goes...

Buon' Appetito!
