It's not easy...


bein' green? Well, Ellie doesn't seem to mind :)
She is a solid-foods eating machine these days. So far Ellie has had carrots, peas (some even got in her mouth!) and sweet potato. We've started giving her rice cereal along with a veggie for dinner, so that she has a little more in her belly to sustain her overnight. We called her peas and rice "stir-fry," but I'm not sure what to call rice cereal mixed with sweet potato...
The hardest part of feeding her solid foods, especially the colorful ones, is that she keeps trying to put her thumb or fingers in her mouth during the meal. It makes for quite a mess. We've definitely had to wipe food out of Ellie's nose on more than one occasion. And spray-n-wash is my new best friend!

  1. Ellie is soooo cute! We have problems with Lucy sticking her hands in her mouth while eating. Our problem is that she then grabs her hair on the side of her head leaving peas (or anything else) crusted on her head!
