Life's Transitions

There comes a time in everyone's life when we transition out of one phase and into another. Some refer to this as positive change and others a negative enforcement. For Madeleine, this is a transition from liquids to solids.



We started her on solid food on Saturday, Feb 3rd. Initially, it was a mixture of Megan's milk and single grain rice cereal (YUCK!!!). After a few days of that, we decided to transition her to Sweet Potatoes. Feb 7th was the date we picked to introduce he to pureed sweet potatoes. We were fortunate enough to capture it on film (digitally speaking of course).



The classic open wide...



Now she's tasting it for the first time...



...there's a hint of doubt in the taste...definitely registered under "New"...



...no wait!!! Not the taste I was expecting...Taste Bud Overload!!!



...time for a full-on CRINGE!!!

After a few more tries, she settled for the idea of sweet potatoes. In fact, she actually liked them. But in the end (and at least for right now), it's no substitute for Mommy's Milk.
