Little Bird

As I mentioned in her 5 Month post, we have started Emerson on solid food this past month. Mostly because she concurrently started waking up at 5am (EARLY!!!) and was whining when she finished her bottles. Jeff and I compared notes, and said, “its time”! My parents were on their way to our house already so they brought over a little rice cereal and we were off to the races!

She was not sure what to do with it all, then came apples… and she figured out quickly that her best little birdie impression got her food as well as laughs from mommy and daddy. I have been enjoying making all of her food and surprised by how truly simple it is. Also, the use of my handy dandy spreadsheet calculation shows me that we are saving close to 97%... What!?!? I’m still an engineer-mommy… don’t judge.

Here is the video of Emerson’s first tastes as well as one taken recently. You can see how well she has gotten the hang of things. (I love the little birdie impression)

Too cute!! Just finished watching our robin family on the front porch and, yup, Emerson and the baby nest-dwellers have something in common!
