"Real" food

A few weeks ago Sage went from not wanting anything to do with baby food, to eating much more than just milk!

Ok, so tomato isn't someting she's actually eating, but she did really want to taste this 1 lb 5 oz tomato we grew in our garden!

What made her change her mind about food? Probably that she insisted on feeding herself!

This is about as messy as you'd imagine (yes, this pic is from a night we ate outside - much easier to clean up that way!) the GIF below might give you a bit more of an idea, though the quality is not the best, so you can't see the sweet potato in her hair. 

Luckily, since those couple days of having to feed herself, she's learned that the food gets into her mouth much quicker if we do it for her, so she's consented to let us feed her.  Sweet potatoes, squash, and bananas are favorites.  Rice cereal is fine, peas are so-so, avocado is terrible, applesauce is tolerable, and broccoli-apple was not the best.

I'm quite happy she's not relying on me for all her nutrition anymore!
