Rice and Banana Casserole

It has officially been one week since I started Hadley on solid food. And by solid, I mean soupy. It's like feeding her cardboard flakes (organic of course) soaked in breastmilk. Even though it is not much, she is so eager to please that when I say the word "Open" she kicks her feet, grins and opens her mouth up wide. She's such a quick learner that after the first few feedings, she just sees the spoon coming and opens her mouth. It is so cute, in a cute and amusing way that only a mother could love.

I am going to attempt to make all of her food instead of buy jars at the grocery store. The book I am using that Jinnie passed on to me is Super Baby Foods. It is a wealth of knowledge. Yesterday she ate banana for the first time! Even though she furrows her brow at the taste and acts like I've just fed her something Gibson barfed up on the floor, I continue to smile, encourage her, and act like she's eating the most scrumptious lobster dinner. Next week we will try sweet potato and the week after that avocado.
