The [boring] life of a SAHM

We started BLW tonight. Addie is just a week shy of 6 months and has shown an interest in our food and meets all the milestones, so why not? ;)

We had porkchops, potatoes, cauliflower & broccoli. She LOVED the broccoli. At first she pushed all the meats & potatoes away & focused on the steamed veggies. After 15 mins or so she tried some potato and put it down, then moved on to meat. She had a hard time figuring out how to get the meat in her mouth, she would bring it up to her mouth & then lean backwards. She finally figured out she shouldn't lean backwards & got in her mouth & continued to suck on the meat for a while. At one point while eating broccoli she bit of a piece, tried to swallow and gagged (totally normal!) so she gagged it up, sucked on it a bit more and then spit it out!

We had so much fun watching her & she was so excited to be eating with us. So much better than doing purees in my opinion (we did purees with DS & it was just blech...he hated it & we hated it. No fun)

She didn't actually swallow anything which is normal, babies normally start actually eating around 8 months, right now its all about learning to eat, exploration & fun! :)

Enjoy the pics!
