The babe is getting her first tooth.....

Okay...you really can't see it very well in this picture. But trust me, it is there and it is causing all sorts of pain for her and for me. She is attacking my fingers and my poor nipples feel like they are being clamped. I am excited though for her, even though I can't believe that she is going to be 6 months old in a week or so.

Which brings me to the subject of introducing solids to your babe. There are so many moms that I know that have already been shoveling cereal and other mushy things down their kids throat since they were 4 months or so. I recently discovered a way to introduce food to your babe and skip that whole mushy baby food making step. Here is a great link about child-led weaning and introducing whole foods to your babe. I also attended a class offered by my awesome doctor on this. Saige isn't ready yet for solids, but she can have fun playing with it until she discovered the wonderful world of tasty vegan food.
