Sweet Potatoes for my little Sweet Potato:)

December 11th was Millie's 6 months Birthday. We never did give the rice cereal a try, but we figured now that she is 6 months old we better start with some food. I'm planning on making our baby food and so I'd baked some sweet potatoes and made a lovely puree for her to try and froze the rest in ice cube trays. So, the evening of the 11th we set her up in her high chair and got a bib on her and gave it a whirl. It was pretty funny! I just loved the looks she would have when the food went in her mouth. She actually eagerly opened her mouth for the spoon, but seemed very confused about what that was in her mouth. Then...spit...it would come out and run down her chin. Then I would scrape it up with the spoon and try again. So, after recycling that same bite for quite a few times we figured she gave it a good try and we could call it quits for her 1st night. We'll get there.
