We have begun the arduous task of feeding our child “real” food. She has already been doing a great job with her Rice Cereal. In fact, she likes it so much, she puts it in her hair, behind her ears, on her high chair, and between her toes.
The latest addition to her menu has been the sweet potato. We mashed it all up, blended it, mixed it with milk, and spooned it up. The first time we tried it, it went right in. However, she was howling for food, and anything in the mouth was better than nothing. After 5 bites, she caught on and refused to eat until she had a bottle of warm milk.
Another attempt last night brought slightly better results after Mommy and Daddy found a trick. Mixing sweet potato and cereal is much yummier than sweet potato alone. MMMMmmmmMMMM.
