June 30, 6m18d - Cucumber & Baba ganoush

I wasn't sure what to give Lily today, so I thought that I would give her some cucumber, and then some baba ganoush dip. I'm not sure that she liked it or not, she did eat some (and managed to chomp off a piece!) and I saw it in her diaper output. she did enjoy dipping the cucumber in the bowl of dip and sucking it.

I don't think that I will be attempting this vegetable again as it was a little scary when she bit the piece off, and maybe I'll wait until daddy is around to introduce new foods. It's more fun that way too!

You can see where she chomped a chunk off.


I am impressed with how well she does with a spoon. She knows (most times) which end to put in food and then in mouth. Usually, nothing ends up on the spoon because we are still working on her aim.Of course, put bowl in mouth.

June 23, 6m11d - Broccoli!

There are no words to describe how Lily loves broccoli.





Sometimes, I'll give her toast and broccoli and she chooses what she wants to eat.

Lily went to Ikea and it was lunch time, so got myself a plate of fish and chips and asked for a couple of pieces of broccoli. The nice lunch lady said that I had to buy a plate of vegetables for a dollar, I said fine, but all I want it broccoli, so just give me 5-6 pieces and I will be happy.

She takes her large spoon, a plate and puts some vegetables on it. It had 3 pieces of broccoli and about 20 carrots. This is Lily eating them. I was so happy that I could sit my little girl down and let her eat while I wolfed down my food. After, she needed to nurse, so I just plopped her on my lap, and she drank. This is easy.
