1st Food - Carrots!

Austin and I started Hadley on her first food tonight. 
We chose carrots! 

With the guidance of my friend, Holly, I've decided to make Hadley's baby food to help ensure that it is fresh, nutritious and free of additives.  I'm also hoping that this process will expose her to a greater variety of tastes and textures, which in return, will smooth the transition to table foods and developing healthy eating habits.  I guess we'll see!  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We tried feeding her carrots after she got done with her rice cereal.  She didn't seem to like it very much as you can tell from the photos below...

 

 

 

All smiles before we got started...

And here come the yucky faces...

We decided to add the carrots to some rice cereal and Hadley seemed to like it much better.  She'll acquire the taste in good time! 

 

 

 

Yeah!  We're all done!
