A new food to try..

Well we finally did it. I gave KaeLynn her first vegetable to try. I gave her some mashed up carrots in her rice cereal and she surprisingly like it. Except for when she came across some carrots that were not mashed up all the way. Her face was priceless. Mom had a horrible time trying to mash up the carrots. First I steamed them. Then when I put them in the blender to mash them up the carrots would get pushed away as the blade was turned on, so no mashing was getting accomplished. So then I tried mashing them just with a spoon, but that took to long and my arm got very tired (I know boo hoo). So then I had the bright idea to use the beater (bad idea). Carrots flew everywhere!! At least Lexy like it because she got an extra treat and she liked up the mess on the floor. All of this while KaeLynn is patiently waiting in her high chair for me to feed her some dinner. I definitely made a mess, but my sweet Cavan still cleaned up the kitchen although he said "I used every bloody dish in the house". I think I need to buy one of those magic bullets to make my future baby food making a little easier. KaeLynn is 5 months old today and I swear I thought she was going to roll from her back to her stomach. She was getting very close. She is getting good at picking up and holding her toys. She is also chewing on everything! She is definitely teething. At least she has not been as grumpy as she was in the beginning.
