Payton is now eating solids twice a day. She started off with the traditional first meal of rice cereal and we have progressed to eating a variety of fruits and vegetables along with mixed grain cereal and oatmeal. She wasn't too keen on eating off a spoon at first, but she's really gotten the hang of it and is eating quite well. Only thing now is that she's still waking up at night, which I would've thought would end by now since she's eating bottles, baby food and is over 6 months. But that's what parenthood teaches you - whatever your expectations are - just throw them out the window.
When we first started out, we fed Payton in her Bumbo seat with the attached tray. It worked out really well. Then, my boss and his wife, Molly, were kind enough to give us their highchair and a bath seat now that their girls have outgrown them. We're getting good use out of the highchair, and it's nice that it has two covers because one is always getting messy and thrown in the wash.
I can't really say yet that Payton has any favorites. She seems to like just about everything she tries and has not absolutely refused anything yet. On to the prunes!

What a stylish bib she's wearing!Does it match her shoes? Isaac liked prunes and sweet potatoes, but never really liked peas. Keep trying to give her something even if she doesn't like it at first. Sometimes it takes several tries before they realize it's not too bad.
That's a nice chair. We pretty much just used the plastic shell so we could (pretty much) hose it down at the end of spaghetti dinners. Try making your favorite concoctions and freezing them in ice cube trays. It's the perfect single serving and super cheap!
You just can't guess on the sleeping thing. Carolyn slept all night by six weeks. Penny woke up nightly until she was 1. I bet Julie would agree with me here. Just no telling...
Yep, I agree with Chris. Isaac still fights going to bed. Except right now, he's sleeping on the rug next to his bed. The drawer under the bed is pulled out, his face is mashed up against it and his pillow was thrown by the door. But, he's sleeping! Henry, on the other hand, already puts himself to sleep, and generally goes 6 hours without waking. Babies do what they want, when they want!
