first solids today

i'm not sure how i feel about it. i mean, she friggin LOVED it. she knew exactly how to eat it, she had no tongue thrust, she didn't try to suck on the spoon, it was an entirely different experience than with rowan. *entirely*. we gave her organic sweet potatoes...BUT...and here's my big but....it was jarred. of course there is nothing *wrong* with jarred, at all. and it's about a million times better than how i fed rowan starting from 4mos. i just had this perfect vision in my head of feeding her home smushed stuff, kwim? totally stupid to be sad about that, but i sort of am...i feel like i caved because i was too lazy to do it the way i wanted to. i even had sweet potatoes. but i didn't want to nuke them in the microwave and our dinner was ready and i wanted her to eat with us. so...i used jarred. the best kind i could find out there, but still...

so i know it's SO lame of me to feel bad. it's ridiculous, really. : but anywhoo...

ok so here are some pictures of her. devouring the sweet potatoes. we stopped at 1/2 a jar but she would have plowed through the entire thing and probably would have been wanting more. :

ok, first this pic because she's so fucking cute i can't stand it. :
way too cute

"how can i explain to mommy that i want THIS MUCH food"

LOL, soooo cute!!!

MM, you are only ONE person, let's not forget. You have so much on your plate (lousy pun intended) right now, you do what you can. You're already doing 1000% better than most moms just by giving her organics.
