JJ is eating food!

Jayney is trying food now!
It is pretty exciting for this mama to see her getting some nutrients in a form other than breast milk. I really want to be able to nurse her to a year, as many sources say it is what is healthiest for babies, but there are days when I really wish she was not so dependent on me. But I am thankful that I have a stay-at -home mom lifestyle and body that is able to solely support her in this way. I know there will come a day (probably far sooner than I am ready for it) when I will miss this sweet simple stage of life. 


Anyhow, here are some silly faces she has made as we have tried new foods. So far we have not had much luck in finding something she truly enjoys eating. Yogurt, Pears and apple sauce have been as close to success as we have encountered, as she will eat them more that just the first time. We are doing everything we can to encourage her to try new things and make it a positive, pressure-free experience. It is so tempting to succumb to giving her junk foods in an attempt to find something she likes eating but with the exception of a drip of ice cream here and there we have really worked to stick to trying the healthy finger food, soft fruits, and veggies. None the less we are crossing our fingers and praying like crazy with each newly opened jar of baby food, that one day she will suddenly decide she likes green beans!
