Did we mention that Vanessa started other baby foods? She started with rice cereal at the end of December and moved on to better stuff a couple weeks ago. She seems happy with green beans, pears, and oatmeal cereal. We're beginning peas tomorrow. I know many of you are probably wondering why I'm giving her all the yucky stuff. Well, I'm hoping she might like all the things I never liked but know are good for me. :) Yes, it gets messy. She likes to guide the spoon into her mouth and sometimes feel the food as she chews. We still let her explore with an extra spoon and wash cloth as we feed her. I have to hide the container of food in my lap, otherwise she's grabbing at it the entire time. As a reward, she gets to play with it when she finishes. :)
