First Meal

 Food!  We started feeding Alex some solids in late July, about a week shy of 6 months.  She likes the novelty of the whole process, but does NOT like to be spoon fed.  She likes to grab the spoon from us and it is a big wrestling game.  I am not going to do as many purees with her as I did with Kate (who was content to sit and be fed like a little bird) and move on more quickly to finger foods.  I don't think I have a choice!
 According to our pediatrician, the AAP has relaxed their recommendations in the last couple of years and now they basically say all infants need until about 10 months is breast milk and iron.  Food is just for practice and to introduce new flavors/textures.  This takes a lot of pressure off!
 I'll take that...

 LOVES Mum Mums

 Loves anything she can do herself
 New family configuration.  We will wait to get her her own Tripp Trapp until she is 7 months or so.


 Not crazy about bananas. Or peaches.  Or fruit in general.  So far her favorites have been spinach and lentils!  Rover understands this...
