We started Miss Nora on solids a little sooner than we'd planned to as doc thought it might help with the puking (it does...but only when it involves solids...she still projectile vomits milk like a champ). My mom and I spent a couple days making and freezing baby food so Nora would get to try local, in-season stuff during the never-ending Wisconsin winter...thank goodness for farmer's markets, orchards, and families with gardens! So far, she's pretty much loved everything we've given her.
- Butternut squash from Grandma and Grandpa Carroll's garden
- Pumpkin from Farmer's Market (ESPECIALLY pumpkin curry)
- Beets from Farmer's Market
- Carrots from Farmer's Market
- Winter Spinach from Driftless Market
- Apples from Wilson's Apple Orchard
- Pears* from Great Grandma and Grandpa Mayne's
- Peaches* from Lancaster
- Green beans from Farmer's Market
- Oatmeal (okay, she has rice cereal too, but I think it tastes like paste...and I don't want her to be the paste eating kids, so we're sticking with oatmeal)
- Bananas, both fresh and in a jar - she prefers the out of a jar
*It remains to be seen how much of the peaches and pears she will actually get to eat, as I tend to eat most of them for her.
Mike made her chicken stock last night so we have a local, free range, sodium free version for her, and Grandpa Tom got a buck last weekend. We've requested some venison steaks to grind up for Miss Daisy Do.

She's also had ice cream twice...at Brendan and Sonya's wedding and most recently at Mimmi's birthday party. Boy did her eyes light up then!
But anyway...without further ado...I now present, baby with stuff on her face...
Oatmeal
Beets
Spinach
