Emaline's First Food: Carrots















She really likes carrots. She has been eating carrots for a week now, with no adverse reactions. Next food: Sweet Potato. We will most likely stick to root veggies for awhile. I don't want to start her on fruit yet as it is sweeter. We are also not going to give her any sweets until she is 1 to set her taste buds up for healthy food. Emaline has been enjoying eating solid food. She practically lunges for the spoon or grabs it with both hands to pull it into her mouth. If she is being held while we are eating or drinking something, she will usually lunge or reach to get whatever
Andrew and I are eating/drinking.

Friday is a check up with the pediatrician. Emmy is just going in to see if she has gained any weight. She didn't gain much at her last well baby visit. Everything else is "divine" (dr's words), the Dr. just wants to see how things are progressing....Emmy might just be a small little girl.

As always, I love comments. ( really, must I beg for comments?) I know there are people who are reading that don't leave comments....Shelley! :-)

She has the CUTEST expressions. What a little pumpkin!

And yes, you must beg for comments. I do it on a regular basis. Sometimes, it pays off.

I always have fun reading your blog since our girls are almost exactly the same age. :) Did you make your own baby food, or just but it? If you have any tips on making it, do share!

Geez!!! Nothing like being called out publicly on your lack of comments...I promise to change my ways!

Love the pictures as much as Emmy loves the carrots (she might love the carrots more based on that face!). Looking forward to seeing a video!

Ooh, I like Abby's idea of a carrot eating video. You could use your new cool prize camera!
