Yummmmm!

UPDATED...SEE BELOW!

Four Months. That's when the Pediatrician recommends starting baby on solid foods. Now, by solid food I mean rice cereal, then oatmeal cereal, and stage 1 baby foods. Seeing as how Lilah was in the 80th percentile at her 4 month checkup at 15 pounds, none of us were surprised at how much she loved "solid" foods!



Normally it completely grosses me out to watch a baby learn to eat. Yes, even my own. (This may not win me mother of the year, but it IS a rather nasty process....sorry!) But she has been so comical and enjoying it so much that it's been a little less disgusting to watch!



So of course I simply MUST blog about it!



Lucky you!



Just be glad I didn't start blogging until Carter was a little older. THAT was a nasty process!



p.s.....Listen to Carter in the background. He's trying to talk Lilah into eating some of his "ice cream" which is really yogurt. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he always thought that?!






Also! I had the best trip to Walmart in ohhh, well, in 4 months, today. Check out this picture!

I put Lilah in the Bumbo seat down in the buggy and strapped Carter into the child seat! I KNOW! How stinkin' brilliant am I??? No more bulky baby car seat!!

Lilah totally loved her new freedom and Carter loved watching her look around and smile and coo. Of course we had the usual onlookers who chatted Carter up and talked to Lilah which she replied to with her bestest grin. Then there were the ones who looked at me like I was the most horrible mom ever. Yeah, whatever. They just wish they'd thought of it! :) It so made Walmart much more do-able with 2 babies!..........and nobody lost their pants either!

Carter cracks me up! He was doing all he could to make sure that Lilah thought it was good.
