Starting solids

So we started Averie on rice cereal right after her 4-month checkup last week. It's been quite a success - she really seems to like it and is a pro at eating off the spoon. She's good at telling us when she's done too by blocking spoon entry with her tongue.

We'll be starting her on a fruit or veggie puree soon - I've heard a common one is sweet potato so we'll probably go with that. We're going the organic route right now because we were able to get organic for the same price as non-organic on a sale at Babies R Us. Leading up to starting solids, I had (have) plans to make her baby food myself but given that it's pretty cheap to buy it, and that I feel scheduled pretty tight already (between school and doing some work at home), we'll see how long those ambitions last!
