Lucy is going to start solids in about a month, and that means two things: 1) Mama’s getting out the blender to puree some sweet potatoes, and 2) Lucy’s poops are going to get more human. <\/p>\n

Jon has been looking forward to this day since we received Lucy’s high chair back in February as a gift (thanks Grandma and Grandpa!). And in those first few (painful) weeks of learning to nurse, feeding Lucy solids seemed like a far-off oasis. I began reading “_Super Baby Food_”:http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0965260313\/octothorppres-20 with great anticipation, imagining spooning up soupy avocado for my robust six-month-old. And now, the day is nearly upon us when I will try my hand at whipping up some Super Porridge and scooping it into our baby’s mouth. (Has anyone actually tried making Super Porridge?)<\/p>\n

\"Lucy<\/p>\n

One of the things I am most looking forward to is cooking for Lucy. I am quite a good cook, if I do say so myself. I think it will be great fun to figure out her likes and dislikes and invent pureed concoctions to suit her taste. (It will require some serious restraint on my part to not add garlic to her veggies, though. Who doesn’t like garlic in their spinach?) But I’m trying not to get my hopes up too high, as I know kids are notoriously picky eaters. Just look at Lucy — so far, she really only eats one thing!<\/p>\n

I must say I’m going to miss those mild-smelling, breastfed-baby poops, but I think it will be worth it to see sweet potatoes smeared all over Lucy’s face. We think she looks good in orange already!<\/p>\n
