First foods!

[judecorp]

Punk had her first taste of brown rice cereal yesterday! She is getting so big so fast, I can't even stand it. We just got back from South Carolina on Tuesday night into Wednesday, and already she has done new things! She had some solid food and also started saying, "da da da." Every time she does, I say, "No dada. Mama." Heh.



I think she liked it!

Oh gosh-- TOO cute! These pics bring back really happy memories :)

ps- We've got all our picture holiday cards hanging in our front hall and a lot of people have made a point of commenting on how especially cute she is.

so cute! she looks like she loves it.

has she been feeling better? less of the throwing up and general ickiness? you haven't mentioned it for a while, so i figured she must be feeling better or doing better at keeping food down.

Go punk! Emma STILL has not said "dada" yet. Only momma and just about every other "da" there is but two dada's together.

OMG she is so cute!!!

Zack totally started with the dada. He is just now, months later, starting with mamama. It's still an indiscriminately uttered syllable (he just came up with it yesterday), but I have hope.

Btw, veggies and fruits are better starters for still-developing digestive systems. I know grains are super common for that, but in our research on foods and babies and stuff due to Z's allergies, we turned up some good sources on it. I will try to find them. I also recall that when you do start grains, it's best to soak them a bit first - like for sprouting, but not all the way to sprouts. Obviously a little brown rice cereal doesn't do any harm, I just thought I'd mention. I hope giving unsolicited advice in my first ever comment on your LJ doesn't get me on the sh*t list. :>

lookin' good!

she looks like she loved the cereal experience! so cute!! we are way into the foods here now. just started making our own fruits and veggies baby food. pretty fun and cool to see them eat it. a friend encouraged us and i am glad she did. as for the cereal, another friend who is a pedi NP encouraged us to try single grain oatmeal cereal before the rice (if we were not worried about allergies due to family history), as it can be easier to digest. they were fine with both, but we did start with the oatmeal. good luck branching into the world of solids feeding and finding your way. we are still working out a few things over here, including how to deal with the two kiddos starting to drink fewer oz in their bottles regardless of whether the solids are before or after the bottles.

on the dadadada front, jordan says it constantly. our usual response? "daddy can't help you know, buddy!" :P we are also encouraging the mamamamama, too!
