We're onto sweet potatoes this week! Last week was it apples and the one before that, bananas. Erica lent us her "Happy Baby" ricer, which is teeny weeny but actually perfectly suited for that tablespoon-sized meal. We steamed up the sweetest of potatoes and then squished it up real nice for dinners. Funny thing though...I was attempting to feed her straight sweet potatoes which are actually pretty dry and stiff by themselves. And, duh! I was wondering why she seemed to gag on every other bite. Well yesterday, miracle of miracles I thought of adding a bit of milk (a.k.a. formula) to the mix and that seemed to do the trick. (That, and a few airplane sounds & gestures, which I've been dying to perform!) Still, Little P still seems a bit confounded by the spoon but I think she's catching on. So far, her favorite part about eating big people food is the clean-up part, when I wrap her fingers in a cloth and pat them down one at a time. For some reason, she gets a kick out of that.
