adventures in sweet potatoes

It was February 9th. When Sylvia got in a fight with her first solid food! And I do have to say that it went pretty well! Sylvia wasn't sure what we were giving her but after a few bites, she couldn't eat them fast enough! Funny thing, the whole time I was feeding her I was thinking she was eating carrots- not sure what I was thinking. :) Here are some pictures from our first adventure with sweet potatoes!
Now, here we go!

Getting ready to eat!

A very clean little girl.

First few, we weren't sure about.
Starting to have a little fun.

We just couldn't get enough of our potatoes!
Syl was wanting to hold her spoon and lick everything.

And in the end, we were successful!
With a little orange all over our face, clothes, and bumbo, we were ready for our bottle.

We now have some cereal in the morning with our bottle and some sweet potatoes at night. We will start introducing some fruit and and other veggies real soon!
When we were at our follow-up appointment (from 4 month well-baby), Sylvia was doing very well for weight. At 4 months she was only 11 lbs 1 oz and the Dr. was a little concerned since her weight had stalled some. So at 5 months, Sylvia had manage to put on a whole pound and a half! She was up to 12 lbs 6.5 oz! So everyone is happy now!
Thanks to our Sweet Potatoes!
