More Please!



Ella had her first taste of solid food tonight. I had given her cereal several times but today I cooked some carrots to give her at dinner time. She normally takes a bottle at 7pm but tonight she was so hungry at 6. So, I decided to try the carrots. (Sidenote: I am thankful for my time in Brazil for several reasons. One being I learned how to warm up food not using a microwave. This was good info since we don't have one right now, which is not a big deal unless I am trying to warm up something quickly for the kids.) So, Ella made a slightly unsure sort of face when she first tasted the carrots. This didn't stop her though from eating about 3 tablespoons worth of carrots. She looks so sad in the picture with the empty container. We will eat carrots for a few days and then try squash and sweet potatoes.

Ella almost looks mad instead of sad about the fact that her bowl is empty. Poor baby! Gran

Her deltoids and biceps look really developed in these pics...but I have a feeling that's not the case :)

Shelley, It's so good to see pictures of the kids. Ella looks like she was happy to eat something other than milk! Today carrots tomorrow burger king!!! Give streedy a hug from jojo
