The Good Stuff?!

Since Sadie has handled rice cereal pretty easily, we decided to move on to something with a little more taste. I knew I wanted to start with vegetables, mostly because I don't eat too many & I am hoping she will be a better eater than me! From what I hear, carrots & sweet potatoes taste better than anything green because they are sweeter. I decided to go with sweet potatoes because that is actually a vegetable I have learned to like in the past few years :) Her first night was really exciting & she obviously liked the flavor! Bryan took some pictures but they were from her first couple of bites so they don't quite show the enjoyment.



After a few bites, she was smiling from ear to ear! She easily ate half of the package & I probably could have given her the whole thing! I will say that she is a really good eater. She has learned to keep her hands down so the only mess we get is around her mouth.

The next night wasn't quite as exciting. Since she only ate half the package, I put the rest in the refrigerator & gave it to her at her next feeding. Well, I wasn't thinking that it would be cold when I got her all set up to eat. She has never had anything cold or hot - everything is room temperature. Needless to say I tried to warm it up a little but I think it was still a little colder & she didn't enjoy it as much. Guess next time I will have to get it out of the refrigerator earlier so it can warm up to room temperature before she eats it!
