"Real" food!

Cecilia's been having a lot of fun with solid foods lately.  She hadn't had anything besides straight, unseasoned fruits and veggies, but I decided to let her try the lentil soup I made this week, since it was pretty thick (and lentils are delicious and so high in iron!).

She is a BIG fan!  The big, soft chunks of carrots were particularly delicious, but she also seems to really enjoy the seasoning (cumin, thyme, garlic, a little salt).  Finally, food that *tastes* like something!

It's a heck of a lot messier than green beans, but she has been SO happy eating the leftovers for the past few days.  Thankfully she's not as bad as John Paul was at this age - very few lentils up the nose, and none in the ears or hair (yet)!
