Yum!

With much hesitation, we've started feeding Megan baby food. I guess we were trying to hold on to our baby as long as possible. Plus, since she didn't come with an owner's manual, we weren't sure when to start spoon feeding her. I don't know that we know now, but we feel the right thing to do is what's best for Megan and have chosen not to stress too much about the time frame other baby's follow. (But as an aside, Andrew started eating baby food at 7 months. Megan is now 6 months.)

So, when Megan decided to stop following her feeding schedule, we introduced baby food and for the most part, it's put her back on schedule. We started with rice cereal but that didn't seem too appealing to her. She loves it in her bottle but not so much on a spoon. So we moved on to green beans and she loves them! We still can't get Andrew to eat green beans so I wanted to start with them rather than something sweet. So far, so good! Soon we'll be moving on to sweet potatoes, applesauce and butternut squash. (We have now tried most everything available in stage 1 baby food, minus prunes and Megan's seems to like everything. I hope that continues. Andrew's not a picky eater except for the fact that he won't eat anything green!)

If I've never said it before, please know our camera drives me CRAZY. And even though most of the time when we take a video it's our own fault we forget to switch it back to still photograph, it still irritates me. So, you'll probably be able to tell this video of Megan's first food was unintentional but worth sharing. :)
