Another First-Solids

Around five months, we noticed that Avery started to demonstrate interest in food, mainly our food.  She would watch us eat intently and get fussy if we did not let her have any, which we did not so do not worry. We started her on rice cereal shortly thereafter. We fed her some rice cereal mixed with breast milk and then put the remainder in her last bottle at night.  She loved it!

Shortly after Avery turned six months old, we started real solids--veggies first. We initially tried sweet potatoes, then carrots, and squash.  Avery enjoyed all of them.  Then, we tried green beans and sweet peas.  Avery was not a fan of the green beans at all.  In fact, she had a melt down in her high chair until we just took her out.  We recently started her on fruits. She has enjoyed apples, pears, and bananas so far.
