It is my birthday weekend so I thought I would try something fun to celebrate: giving Lucy her first taste of solid food. She's been sitting up in her high chair so confidently these days and acting quite curious about food when she watches Matt and I eat. She slaps her hands down onto her tray in excitement when she sees us eating - this is her way of communicating "I want it!" about many things.
We went to the Farmer's Market last weekend and bought several winter squashes for Lucy from Rosie Creek Farm to eat this winter. We started with the Sweet Mama squash. I prepared and spooned some into a wee bowl for her. Below you can see her immediate reaction after her first taste from my finger.
Despite the look, she grabbed for more so I passed the duty on to Matt to give it a try. There is quite a range of expression that came from her first tastes!
I shot a quick video of Lucy and you can see how she both disliked and wanted to taste the food! So silly. All in all we decided she isn't quite ready as there were a number of gags and tongue-reflexes that came from this experience. The dislikes outweighed the interest for her for now. We'll try again next week with something different!
