Micah's First Food — Samantha Leigh Burns

I'm always so excited when my babies hit a new milestone and learn new things, but I have mixed feelings about introducing solid foods! After the initial learning curve that is breastfeeding, it becomes so easy and convenient (and free), so that adding real food to the mix doesn't excite me at first. I obviously know it's good for Micah and I WANT her to eat food, but now I have to MAKE food, clean up more messes, and change those stinky diapers. (Goodbye breastfed baby poop, I'll miss you!) Okay, I'm done complaining now. After about a week or so, it really was fun to watch Max try new foods and the faces he made in the beginning were pretty funny. I'm looking forward to all the same things with Micah, and it might be even more fun because Max is even more excited about the whole thing. I also plan on having Max help make her food, which really isn't that hard either. And, before I know it, she will be eating all the regular food that we eat too! So, I'll do my best to enjoy all the messes and extra work along the way. Oh and don't worry, you know I'll be documenting it all!

So enough rambling, Micah turned 6 months old today, so yesterday we introduced her first food- avocado (mixed with my milk!) She did not disappoint us with her funny faces and looks of disgust. I think she still trusts me, although there were moments she wasn't so sure of what was happening. Enjoy and be sure to watch the little video at the end! She makes some adorable faces, screeches a lot and Max accidentally eats some breastmilk guacamole. Do you think he liked it? Wait and see!

Oh & this first picture is just too cute...
