"Solids!"

We gave the babies solids yesterday! Of course, all of us parents know they are not really "solid" but that's beside the point! Their first food is sweet potato. I made it myself out of organic sweet potatoes and water. I froze about 2 weeks worth.

So... it went well! Veronica liked it right from the start, and was opening her mouth for daddy to put in more! Jackson didn't like it as much at first... he was gagging on it even before I put the spoon in his mouth. We tried a few more times and finally he decided he liked it. Then he was putting his mouth up and toward the spoon!

We gave them more today and it went fine as well. They were a little distracted because we had company at the time and they were kind of tired. We've given the sweet potatoes at dinnertime and I think I may do it earlier in the future - instead of doing it at their crabby time. I don't know, we'll see...

We took some video which I'll post as soon as I get the energy to upload it from our camera... :-) I love their cute pudgy little faces covered in sweet potato!
