Last Thursday was a big day in our household -- Penelope had her first solid food.
I have been so excited to begin making Penelope's baby food and the time has finally arrived. We decided to make her own food so we know exactly what she is eating. None of that processed, chemically injected, filler crap for my baby. No thank you. She will also have a primarily organic diet. We haven't, however, decided whether or not Penelope will be eating meat or not. I was a pescatarian (only meat I ate was seafood) for 4 years before getting pregnant, I couldn't give up sushi. Before getting pregnant Aaron and I both experimented with veganism for 6 months, it was the healthiest we have both felt. Even though we felt good it took a lot of work. We had to cook every meal from scratch and read every single ingredient label. And at this point in our lives we simply don't have the time for veganism between work, school, and caring for Miss Penelope. But if we decide to give her meat it will be in very small quantities on rare occasions. Its just another one of those 'just wait a see' circumstances of parenthood. There seems to be a lot of those.
Of course we videotaped Penelope trying her first food...oatmeal!
She is hilarious. That child is pure entertainment. She kept gagging which of course made us laugh hysterically.

I'm having a hard time upload pictures so its just videos for now. Hopefully I can figure out whats wrong...
LOL!!!! It seemed like she just wanted to chew on the spoon. hahaha. She is so cute learning how to eat food! It's so interesting how we have to teach them EVERYTHING.
