Yummy solids

Julia can eat several solid foods now! Here is a list of solid foods Julia eats and how she does with them:

• Bananas: not so hot at first, but now they're pretty good. She likes them mixed with cereal; she can also gum them pretty easily when they're cut into pieces.
• Carrots: we're on a break with carrots at the moment
• Apples: her all-time favorite!
• Pears: almost as yummy as apples
• Sweet potatoes: her first vegetable; has been a staple in her diet since Thanksgiving
• Peas: well-received when fresh
• Oatmeal cereal with cinnamon: a staple of her diet
• Rice cereal: a former staple of her diet; now gets mixed with fruit
• Gerber puffs: little things that dissolve on her tongue in seconds; she gums them. They're designed so that babies can learn to feed themselves, but the only things Julia puts in her mouth are fingers—Mommy's or Daddy's or hers.

In addition, she can drink water from a cup. She eats at least twice every day. All this is in addition to her regular diet of lait de la mère.
