Sweet Potatoes

So like I've said in a previous post our youngest daughter LOVES food. She licks her lips, shoves her hands in her mouth, gets as close as she can to it, smiles, etc whenever we eat anything. We've started letting her "taste" food. She is still be exclusively breastfed but we figure it can't really hurt anything for her to taste the foods she is so interested in. I made some mashed sweet potatoes yesterday so I gave some to her tonight when she became interested in our chili and granola peaches. Here are a few pictures of her little sweet potato adventure. The funny thing is that at her age she really shouldn't have the ability to "eat" baby food yet. She should still be doing tongue thrusts which would push the food right out of her mouth. Yeah not this baby. She does still push some food out, you can see that in her pictures, but she also eats a ton of it too! We are going to go with green veggie baby food tasting in the future and rice cereal next month. However we are not ready to have any type of nutrition come from food until she's 6 months old. We will attempt to stay with the tasting food stage until then.
