A New Phase

In the "5 Months" post we celebrated Adaline's new chair that hooks onto the counter and lets her be with us while we eat. We thought it was the greatest investment yet. And it has been great but now we've started a new phase in life. Eating solids is proving to be one of the messiest challenges yet. And the chair we bought for her is taking the brunt of the damage.

Her favorite food is probably baked sweet potato fries. But she has been on an avocado binge for several days now. Sometimes we've given her an apple slice and she will gnaw dozens of little teeth holes with her only two teeth. A few other things she's tried are (and how much she has approved): peaches (2/10), broccoli (6/10), little cereal puffs (7/10), bananas (sometimes 3/10, sometimes 8/10) and foods below.

black beans (9/10)

(rice cakes 7/10)

red bell pepper (8/10)

She even helps put away the groceries!

It means extra mess and extra prep and more dishes. But it's actually a blast to introduce Adaline to all of the fun flavors that we enjoy nearly everyday with hardly a second thought.
