Sweet... potatoes!!




What's that I taste? Oh yeah, it's something other than formula!

Alex ate solid-ish food for the first time tonight... sweet potatoes. She seemed to dig it right from the beginning, although as always her tongue was a bit of an impediment. She lapped up half a jar and would have likely taken more were we inclined to clean up a bigger mess than we already had.

It will be sweet potatoes for the next few days to ensure there is no allergic reaction and then on to carrots and peas (3-4 days each time) before she dives in to the baby heaven that is fruit.

We'll keep you informed as to the progress... below is a link to a video of the very first bite should you be interested.

So did you give her a heads up that she was about to have something yummy. The first picture looks like she knows that sweet potatoes taste so much better then rice cereal.

The video was very cute too. But then again anything with Alex is always cute!
