Most of you probably remember the struggles I had with LB when she started solids. There was a lot of wasted food, gagging, throwing up, tons of laundry and lots of tears. Turns out poor baby had reflux pretty bad and she got better after getting that and her diabetes insipidus under control.
This go-round I decided to be more laid back about eating. I wanted to enjoy it. I wanted Evie to enjoy it. She didn't need the extra calories like LB did, so it was more a matter of experimenting and discovering food than counting what is going in her mouth. And it helps that this girl likes to eat! She is constantly trying to grab food off my plate or out of my hand (like the watermelon she jacked from me at the farmers market yesterday!) She will not do purees. She tolerates steamed veggies and fruit, loves avocado but she really enjoys to eat what we eat. I struggle with that because, c'mon, she's 6 months old! But again, laid back. It's been pleasantly surprising so far!

| Eating steamed carrots. I made purees the week before and she gagged and spit most of it out. I steamed these up and she immediately grabbed them and put them in her mouth. Little stinker. |

| All the carrots! |

| Avocado is the front runner right now! |
