Let's Eat!

Stella is six months old today! I really cannot believe she has been with us for half a year already. And to think it has already been six months since I experienced the most agonizing and rewarding pain of my life is craziness!

To celebrate Stella's six-month birthday, we rewarded her with an introduction to real food yesterday evening. We are attempting the Baby-Led Weaning approach. Last night we introduced avocado, banana, green beans and sweet potato. The avocado and banana went straight to the floor, but she chewed and gnawed on the green beans and sweet potato quite a bit. I'm fairly positive nothing was actually swallowed, but that's okay. She is still getting plenty of nourishment from her mama.

The process has been a little nerve racking, but so far it's going okay. She has gagged some, which is to be expected, but has never choked. Of course she's only had two meals, but so far so good.

Here are some pictures of Stella's first meal!

I'll be back with some six-month photos and an update soon!
