We're Starting Solids!

For a little while now, Brooke has been closely watching us eat.  I thought it was about time to try some solid foods!

We started simple and tried oatmeal.  When the triplets were little, we used to add rice cereal to their bottles, but the doctor said to not do that.  So we tried out a spoon.  It took a little practice to not take the spoon under her tongue, which she did quite often.

We were doing oatmeal twice a day.  She seemed to really like it and even opens her mouth anticipating more.  So, on to the next food: carrots!

We substituted the afternoon oatmeal with a vegetable.  Totally forgot about the staining power of carrots!

Sometimes she prefers her zebra to the carrots.

 She is really getting the hang of eating with a spoon.  I can't wait to introduce her to fruits!
