Madelyn has tried her first solids foods!! We are trying something a little different which is called by a cheesy term "Baby Led Weaning." The point is that the baby learns to feed themself so there's no puree stage. The purpose is for the baby to determine how much they want to eat like they do when nursing. Here are a bunch of fun photos of Madelyn exploring food. I don't think she's actually swallowed much of the food but she is learning about textures and flavors. Breastmilk will remain to be her main source of food until a year.

Want to play a game? I'll drop it off the side and you pick it up!
Madelyn prefers to suck her thumb over eating. I am sure that will change.
Try mango in the summer as that is the season :) Very cute pics and what an interesting concept!! Time sure have changed!! Good luck with it!
