Jeanine's First Food...

...and last, for a while at least! I tried giving her sweet potatoes that I made and she didn't mind the taste, but she's not ready for solids yet. She still has the tongue thrust reflex so not much got past that crazy tongue of hers, which was busy pushing all the food out, not getting it in! We'll just wait until she's 6 or 8 months and try again. She's going through a growth spurt though, and when I weighed her 2 days ago she was over 15 lbs! The bad cold/flu she had definitely didn't make her any worse for the wear, lol!

John liked the idea of feeding Jeanine real food and watched closely the whole time. I had to tell him today that he wasn't allowed to feed her himself though, just in case.

And no, they don't look alike. Remember, you also think Isaac and Ryan look like, and I think they're pretty much opposite.

Sweet potatoes was always one of Sophia's favorite. Her absolute favorite one was butternut squash, though. She's too cute and getting so big already!!
