The last few days, Tiri has been exploring the wild world of (semi)solid foods.
She started eating cereal in her bottle once in a while when she was around four months, but now she is eating with a spoon. She will be six months old tomorrow, and it is time.
She now eats her cereal with a bit of cinnamon and a miniscule amount of brown sugar. It is very popular, she lunges for the spoon like she thinks it's going to escape. I don't mind such zeal, because I figure she will be finicky soon enough.
Yesterday she tried Sweet Carrot baby food. It was not popular. The face she made said it all, and the spitting and such removed any sliver of a doubt. I'll try it again some other time, as one is supposed to when introducing new foods, but not for a while.
She also tried bananas. Those she wasn't sure about at first, but by the time I had coaxed half the jar into her mouth, she was into them. I'll be adding those to the shopping list, as with her WIC check she will be getting something like 5x16 jars of fruits and veggies.
Today she tried Sweet Peas. The first spoonful wasn't recieved very well, but I gave her a few more and she ended up happily finishing the whole jar. She has always had a good appitite, and I think this whole flavors and various types of food theory will be mostly enjoyable for the both of us, at least until she gets finicky.
I can't wait to get her more kinds and create lots of fun meals for her.
