bananas and squash and rice, OH MY!

Gwen is officially beginning to attempt to eat solidish foods. so far, it's so different from our experience with Addi ... then again, Addi was mostly a formula-fed baby, so maybe the taste of blah rice cereal trumped the wet cardboard taste of the formula. but breast-is-best Gwen is perfectly content with her liquid diet, it seems. 

we tried rice cereal on her 4 mo. birthday (i'll need to upload the video ... soon). it didn't go over so well. then this afternoon i decided to go for some more flavorful options.

bananas
and squash
as you can see, her eyes are a bit red: direct result of her learning how to swallow something thicker than milk. 

i love this woman immensely.

My sis watched the kiddies for two days while I went to girls camp and daddy....oops.....left Annie's milk in the freezer the first day.....lets just say "she doesn't like formula" is an understatement. :>) My poor sis had a very unhappy Annie all day long....day two went much better with the good stuff :>) we're waiting til she's 6 months to try solids because of the risk for food allergies in our little fam...hopefully she can get out of them, and hopefully Mr. Ty doesn't develop any more!

Conner is the same way. If you gave him the choice he would choose to eat breast milk everytime. I can't complain though, I enjoy our time together.

I love the colors in that picture of the squash on her face. It seems to match her hair, although I don't think her hair is red. is it?
