Food update!

The little princess is growing up fast! Now that she is 6 1/2 months old we are starting to branch out and give her more foods! She is now on stage 2 purees. I try and give her as much organic as possible. She has finally started to like green beans and peaches. She loves bananas and pears as well as sweet potato's and carrots. She has had strawberry's and other berries and I was terrified of her having an allergic reaction but she did great and loved them. She even had a fruit smoothie that was called Hawaiian delight (bananas, peaches, pineapple!) Just call her Popeye the Sailor woman, she even ate spinach! All I know is I miss her innocent breastfed only poops! These diapers are starting to get NASTY!!!

For breakfast Raegan eats organic oatmeal and a fruit. Today she had pears and pineapple. For lunch she gets usually a veggie and dinner is rice cereal with a veggie. We are getting ready to start her on meats as well as more solid foods. When we start her on meats she will eat fruit for breakfast, veggie for lunch and meat for dinner. Friday for lunch we shared a plate of spaghetti. I cut up elbow noodles teeny tiny for her and she loved it! I am looking forward to getting her some puffs and mum-mums and see how she does with those as well as other table foods. My plan is to have her on all table food/ finger foods by the time she is ready for stage 3 purees. Since we are getting ready to start giving her more table food I had Ryan and I brush up on our infant CPR. The television show The Doctors had a segment on it the other day so I DVR'ed it so we could watch it together that evening and be prepared in case anything were to ever happen to her.

She is also drinking water out of a sippy cup with all of her meals. It is so cute she will take a bite of food and then grab her cup and take a sip, put the cup down, eat a bite, pick the cup up take a sip and does this throughout the whole meal! It amazes me how smart she is and how quick she learns things.
