On the food front...

I've been working hard the last few weeks to introduce new foods to you. We got the green light from your Gastro to try food again, so I jumped in (slowly...haha)! We had very bad luck when we introduced foods the first time due to all of your allergies. Dr. An said to try introducing organic homemade foods only. So far so good. You can have black beans, bananas, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, summer squash, and peaches (you've only had them in whole form in the mesh feeder so you're not getting much of the actual fruit). You've had a small amount of Quinoa, but you're not a huge fan of it. Last night I have you carrots and you threw up, but I don't know if it was because of the carrots or if it was because I was trying to "fight" you to eat them. You were being quite the stubborn kiddo last night!!

Your cousin Sophia loved these mesh feeders, so I made sure to get you some before you were born (I know...I'm a dork!). I was finally able to give them a try. Whoo hoo! I loaded it up with peaches and handed it over to you. I wasn't sure you would take it because you aren't too fond of texture. The mesh didn't seem to bother you though. You went to town on that thing. I totally forgot how messy these things are. You were covered in peach juice!! You absolutely loved it though, so it was worth it :)

I've been trying to get you to hold your sippy cup. You want nothing to do with it though. I decided to put the handle of your sippy cup on your bottle and try and entice you with that. You try and put it to your mouth, but you can't seem to figure out how to tilt your head back and hold the cup up. I decided to stick your Boppy behind you and see if that would help any. It worked GREAT! You tilted the bottle back and drank the entire thing!!! It was so nice to get a slight break. I sat there and watched because I didn't want to leave the room and take the chance that you would choke. BUT...at least I wasn't having to hold the bottle :)
