So about poo ...

This blog IS titled "Adventures with Kaylee ... Our way to Share the Love, Laughs, and Poop". But not to worry, I won't go into graphic detail of Ms. Kaylee's bowel movements. However, I will state that BM's or lack of BM's helps me determine if there is any adverse reaction to new foods, if her crankiness is digestive-related, or if I need to put some prunes on the menu.

In regards to introducing new foods, everything seems to be okay. We started her with the typical rice at about 5-months, then we moved to oatmeal which she likes better. At around 6-months we started to introduce the veggies. I am making most of baby food since it allows more control of what she eat, is cost effective, and I get to use my super food processor! The first baby food that I made were peas. She didn't mind them but they are still not a favorite. Next were green beans. Same thing, she didn't mind but they were not a favorite. In order to get her to eat a decent amount of peas and green beans I started to mix them in with the oatmeal. Then I introduced plain yogurt, and then I started to mix peas/green beans with yogurt ... doesn't that sound yummy! Well she ate it and that is what matters. Here is a list of what she has had to date:

Rice

Oatmeal

Peas

Green Beans

Kaylee is now in the messy self-feeding stage. Firm tofu is perfect for self-feeding. We also have bananas, avocado, steamed zucchini, and a variety of Gerber dissolving foods. I even gave her a stale bisquit the other day. We have so much more food to try ... and poopy diapers to change!
