FOOD!

*EDIT: VIDEO DID NOT WORK THROUGH BLOGGER. PLEASE GO TO http://www.youtube.com/CLPStrand (can someone let me know if these work? They seem to work on my computer but so did the video I uploaded here that everyone said wasn't cooperating.)

Today we started food!! Our pediatrician recommended that we wait until 6 months so since she is 6 months on Monday we celebrated today with rice cereal. Yum! Here's a video and pics of Penelope enjoying her first meal.
Here we are shopping at the co-op (Chris was very embarrassed that I made him take a picture in the grocery store)

This looks like fun! I don't know what is going on but Mommy and Daddy seem excited.

Oh yeah! This is what I've been waiting for.

Food makes me happy--as well as 2 1/2 hour morning naps.

We got this great baby food cook book called Superfoods that has easy recipes and a suggested plan. (Who's surprised that I turn to a book for guidance on eating? :) ) So tomorrow we are making homemade apple baby food--isn't that applesauce? After that we are on to carrots...add future food critic to Penelope's list.

It's such an exciting phase! I loved introducing the boys to new foods and making your own baby food is so much fun! One of Owen's favorites was avocado and banana. Have fun on your new adventure through world of baby food:)
Love the tie dye pants!
