Starting Solids

We got the go ahead from Paige's pediatrician to start solids at around 5 months given her advanced size and weight and because she was already sitting up by herself unassisted. Emotionally, I was not at all ready, so we held off until she was about 5.5 months. At that point, she was so interested in food that I finally gave in. After a few stops and starts, again mostly due to my feelings regarding Paige growing up (yes, even enough to eat food), she started in earnest at about 6 months. Some of her favorites have been pears, bananas, and sweet potatoes, but she will happily eat just about anything. This is a video of her enjoying a banana and papaya smoothie.
