Food bananza







Harper and Lucy have started solids! Its actually been a few weeks now, but I've been too busy assembling high chairs and keeping Murdoch away from slimy baby hands to blog.

Here's what's been added so far.
Rice cereal agreeable to all. Harper has to grab the spoon and desperately pull it toward her guppy mouth - control freak.

Bananas Lucy enjoyed them. Harper was suspicious (naturally) but accepted them for the most part. Left curious seed material in the after effects.

Sweet potatoes Harper liked more than Lucy did, but both are happily eating them mixed in with rice cereal. Orange poo. Yikes!

Avocados Harper didn't register anything unusual. But was so tired from lack of morning nap (thwarted by evil bottom teeth determined to make their appearance in this world) that she fell asleep in the high chair. Lucy ate them at first, but then seemed to notice something unusual. Made an especially amusing face and pulled upper lip up to her nose. Must get photograph of that. Interested in seeing the digestive results. I'm afraid it might put me off guacamole for a while.

In the meantime, here are some shots of the first rice cereal meal. Vote for what food you think they should try next. Choices are barley, millet or oatmeal cereals, yogurt, apricots, nectarines, peaches, pears, plums or prunes.
