Fooooooooooooooooooood.

Finally! Caroline gets some real food! (Well, rice cereal, pureed peas, sweet potatoes, carrots, and apples. Not quite appetizing. But still!)

Anyway, she hasn't quite gotten the hang of eating from a spoon yet, but it's not for lack of trying. I have been attempting to get something into her mouth every day, feeding her around the same time we eat dinner. (She usually sits in Jack's old high chair and gums a toy while we eat family dinners. She loves to smile and giggle at all of us while we eat and talk.)

Here are some pictures of her super-cute attempts. She is very interested, but just can't seem to get that little mouth working right yet!

Peas. 

I'd get a spoonful in, and she'd immediately spit it back out. But then she'd laugh :)

Letting Jack get in on the action. He loves to feed her. (HER OWN FOOD. NOT SHRIMP.)

I also noticed that you can clearly see the JAR of peas in this picture. If you know me, you know I was super excited and into making all of Jack's baby food from scratch. I do plan to do the same for Caroline, but I can't bring myself to pull everything out yet when she isn't actually even ingesting any food yet. For now I am using only organic and pure pre-made baby food, and when she actually starts eating something, I will dig through storage and find our blender/steamer/etc. Don't worry, little girl...you will get Mommy's home cookin' too!

"Hey Mom, what is this crap??"

Jack showing her where her food goes. He is so adorable when he's being nice.

Anxiously awaiting more of her sweet potatoes! I let her gum a banana too,
but it made her gag. Maybe not quite ready for that yet.

And some other random shots from today...

Look what I found in the baby swing!!

Poor Caroline has a bad cold. This is the only way she wants to sleep - as tightly wrapped as possible.
