Ella's First Solid Food, October 25, 2008

At Ella's four month checkup, Dr. Jillson gave us the go ahead to start introducing solid foods. She had already had rice cereal added to her formula to help with reflux, so we decided to skip the cereals and move right to fruits and vegetables. We started to sweet potatoes. Everone loves sweet potatoes, righ?

Ella gets strapped into her high chair and studies the spoon. "What's going on here?"

"What the hell is this crap?"

"Mommy, I'm not so sure that I like sweet potates."

"No, definately don't like sweet potatoes."

She handled eating from the spoon like a champ. The sweet potatoes came out as fast as they went in, though.

Once we switched over to apple sauce, she seemed to enjoy the experience much more.

She actually got upset when Mommy wouldn't get her the applesauce fast enough.
