pretend it's peanut butter naneee

you don't have to tell me twice...
as soon as DOCs gave the OK to start food, i was at the store buying all the things i would need.
JUST KIDDING!!!! i actually have somewhat been dreading this day. levi, (that lucky first born child of mine) got things right off the bat with an extreme excitement on both brian and my part... alivia, pretty much skipped baby food and went right to the real stuff... she was practically 4 months old and i was shoving grains of rice in her mouth.
by this stage in my parental wisdom i know that baby food is a time consuming hassle! they really arn't gaining anything from it in my mind (calorie wise) and it is just one more thing i have to try and cram into my already non stop day.
however, that sweet little face of hers deserves to have the "first foods" photo, and that is just what i did today! tomorrow, she will be just like alivia, getting the foods we eat as mashed up as i can make them with my finger. :)

this story is kind cute though, at least i think so.....
the only fruit i had in the house were peaches, so nataley fayes first food was a peach (with hint of yummy breast milk of course). so, as i pulled out the good old food processor levi and alivia came running over to see what i would be baking. i quickly explained that there wasn't going to be a dessert but that we were going to be feeding nataley her first taste of real food. levi, bless his heart decided that peaches were not going to be the best choice and pulled out his favorite food.... peanut butter! it took me about 10 minutes of arguing with him before he was entirely convinced that babies can not eat peanut butter...


finally nataleys BIG moment! she ate it right up, and did really well! i let the kids each have a turn helping feed her and when it was levis turn, he softly patted her head and said.... and i quote "mommy said peaches are nummy, but they are gross.... pretend it's peanut butter naneee" nataley smiled so big at him, and the whole minute kinda made me melt! it was rather cute! and i think it wins shannon's "favorite moment of the week award"!
