Aria had her first "real food" today - it was squash. not really my favorite, but i want to start her on veggies before the sweetness of fruit ruins her tastes to anything healthy for her (josh and i are both sugar addicts, so i'm sure that will be passed on to our offspring.) so squash...lovely orange color which ended up on everything. the first couple bites were VERY uncertain...gave me a very funny look and spit it out. i thought "great, she already hates veggies"... but such as was not the case. when i put the food down to take a quick picture (because in only 2 bites she had already managed a rather sizable mess...) she got upset and decided she wanted more. within 10 minutes, she had finished all 5oz of the squash and was quite irritated when it was gone.
i had no idea that after eating 5oz of solid food, she'd still be hungry, but she was, so i gave her some formula and she was mostly appeased. however, after 5oz of bright orange squash - only 4 oz of which actually made it into her mouth i'm sure - she DEFINITELY needed a bath. she had it ALL over, and i'm not kiddin - we're talking her arms, her feet and after undressing her i even found it in her belly button. really? her belly button? she was wearing TWO LAYERS!!! so yes, she got a bath. and then, after all that work, she took a nap....but not after spitting up bright orange squash within 5 minutes of her bath.
i love being a mom.
