We've been experimenting with eating solids foods for a couple of months now.When I say "solid", what I really mean is "finely blended", and when I say "experimenting", what I really mean is that it's only been over the last three weeks that Freyja has actually been eating them with any enthusiasm.
Before that, attempting solid foods went hand-in-hand with looks that just screamed, "You're kidding, right?" and "Ha! I don't think so!", lips slammed together so no spoon could dream of entering, and on the off chance it actually got into her mouth...a look on her face like she just tasted a sour lemon.
Then, one day I went to spoon feed her a little solid food...and there she was...mouth open like a little bird...and so she's been, a happy little eater, ever since. If she could eat the food right off my plate, I think she would. It's weird how these things happen...
Of course, milk is still her first love, but it has now been decided that the following foods also absolutely rock:
Apples, Pears, Peaches, Plums, Bananas, Sweet Potatoes, Peas, Green Beans, Carrots, Rice Cereal, and Oatmeal
Now, mealtime with Freyja has become fun! She squeals in sheer delight when she sees the spoon coming. Yay!

Hey Adrienne!
This is really cool. Thanks for sharing all of this. Freyja is adorable!
Good going, Freyja!
Our mealtime fun with Timothy has the added attraction of having to clean the kitchen after him... :-)
You can get peaches and plums now? Or are they from a jar? Envy you for sweet potatoes. Here they are unaffordably expensive. We buy them like once a year...
We can still get peaches and plums, even though they're out of season, but I generally buy organic baby food. It's easier in this situation. Sweet potatoes are super cheap here...but now that you mention it, I do remember that one of my friends who studied in Scotland when we were in college mentioned how expensive and rare they were...she had to have her mom send those, as well as some other items to her so she could make her Scottish friends a proper Thanksgiving dinner!
