Yummy in Lucy's tummy :)
Dive-bombing the spoon

So now that Lucy is 6 months old, she has moved on to eating some solid foods. But I have to admit, she's kind of a picky eater!! She definitely does not take after her mom. We started her on rice cereal, which she absolutely LOVES!! Next we tried peas, which she hated. She would give us a sour yucky face and sometimes gag. I heard that other moms had good success with avocado, so I decided to get some avocados and puree them for Lucy. That was a no-go too. She puked them up on the second bite. I was kind of trying to hold out on giving her the sweet yummy fruits right away, but with her just refusing avocados & peas, I thought, let's try some bananas. So Saturday morning, I puree some nice sweet ripe bananas for her. Hates them. Turns her head away & refuses to eat them! Bananas???? I was thinking she was bananas! All along, she continued to eat her rice cereal and love it...just not so interested in the other stuff. Next I tried giving her carrots. She loves carrots...she's been eating a jar a day for about 4 days now. This morning, she had sweet potatoes for the first time which went over pretty well too. So maybe her taste buds were just adjusting to these new flavors. Now that I've had some success with carrots & sweet potatoes, I think I may try some of the other foods again and see if she'll take them. Here are some funny pictures of her eating her rice cereal for the first time!
