More food!

Lauren has been testing out her taste buds lately. We first tried rice cereal which she didn't love. Dr. Davis told us to try oatmeal which she seems to like a WHOLE lot better. Her first real food was sweet potatoes that daddy "manned" lasted summer....that's what he calls men canning. She wasn't a fan. I think more was spit out than swallowed. We'll try them again in a few days. I think part of it was the fact that they aren't as "finely" pureed as the other, which we'll work on!

The most recent vegetable that she has tried are carrots. I tested her with the Gerber sample we received on Easter and she really liked it. Even though she'd pull away and tucked her chin to her chest, she always came back for more! I blended our "manned" carrots last night since I ran out of the sample jar in 2 sittings. She had a little more than 2 tablespoons of carrots, 2 tablespoons of oatmeal and a 3 ounce bottle before hitting the hay last night!
