A Solid Mess

Starting to feed the monkey some solids. No real plan in place, just getting her used to the idea of a spoon going in her mouth, the feeling of a bib going around her neck, and all of us sitting at the table together. I'm going to spoon feed her mushy food to start. I know baby led weaning is touted as the best way to introduce solids, but I don't think Edie can actually get much without any teeth. I agree that "food before one is just for fun", but I don't want to clean up a giant mess each day just so she can have fun at the table. Hopefully Edith will develop a love for food as well as the occasion of eating. Nothing makes me happier than to enjoy a simple and delicious meal with family or friends. Can't wait to share such moments with little E.

For now, let's start with eating the food and not the bib.
