We had Mia's 6 month pictures taken. Addi did such a great job that I can't decide which ones I want to order in what sizes!! Click the picture to see the photo album.

We take Mia in for her 6 month wellness check next week. At the appointment we are going to discuss what foods to start feeding Mia. We'll also find out how often we should feed her solid foods and I also want to ask about when it's okay to give her juice or water.

Our doctor was adamant that we don't feed Mia any solids until 6 months. I went against doctors orders though because I felt she was ready for rice cereal and according to this quiz I was right! Take this quiz to see if your baby is ready for solids: http://www.gerber.com/Sitter/nutrition_and_feeding/solid_food_quiz.aspx

I already told you that I'm making my own baby food. So far I have avacado and squash in my freezer waiting for her to be ready to try it. I found this list of the best foods to make for baby:

Fruits:

• Apples
• Apricots (I've never had an apricot)
• Bananas
• Blueberries
• Mangoes
• Peaches
• Pears (my favorite)
• Plums
• Prunes
