Food!

Adelyn's adventures with "real food" have begun!
This was her 6-month birthday and her first try at rice cereal. She gave us lots of funny faces!

We've moved on to sweet potatoes here and clearly, she enjoyed them!  Such a happy girl!

Brian has been doing a great job with homemade baby food thanks to a great book given to us by sweet friends Katherine & Drew - First Meals by Annabel Karmel:

Yes, even with all the years of education between us, we still needed help with banana puree (1. peel banana 2. mash well with fork 3. serve to baby)!

Seriously, we have been working our way through the fruits and veggies (banana, apple, pear, nectarine - not a hit with this baby girl!, cantaloupe, prunes - key for preventing constipation!, broccoli, peas, carrots, green beans, zucchini, sweet potato, baked potato, and butternut squash) and have also started some yogurt - Addy loves the Yo Baby yogurt - organic and made from whole milk...

We have also started cheerios (well, organic oat rings from Whole Foods - nothing but the best for this baby!) - she loves practicing her pincer grasp. At first, Lucy got most of them (from the floor!), but now Adelyn's figured out that she doesn't have to share. Fun times!
