Emma Tries Baby Food

At Emma's 4-month check-up, her doctor said that we should slowly start introducing her to baby foods. First, we started off with rice cereal and then a week later we gave her some carrots and sweet potatoes. Emma doesn't seem to like any of them. I think she still prefers formula in a bottle. I think I do too since it's less messy. She doesn't know how to eat from the spoon very well, so she ends up pushing most of the food back out with her tongue instead of swallowing it. She's getting better though.

"Here comes the 1st bite of rice cereal."

"That wasn't so bad."

"Here comes another..."

"Ok...I don't think I like rice cereal too much. Let me just pretend that I like it."

"No more Mommy. To tell you the truth, I don't like it. Note to myself...no good can come from lying."

"Hmm...carrots are ok. I think I got more on myself than in my mouth though."

"Yuck, maybe not. I hope this baby food stuff gets better or else I'm just going to stick with the formula."

"I'm going to play with my food now. Look at my orange lower lip."

"What Mommy? One more bite and I can have the bottle?"
