First Solids

Look out! The smallest Marasco has had her first taste of food! It won't be long before we're ordering 3 kid meals when we go out. We're in trouble, because if you know any Marasco, you know that most of us have eating habits like that of a T-Rex. I'm preparing myself for a crew that eats me out of house & home (what a weird expression).

With the emergence of Tula's first teeth, signaling that she has proper stomach enzymes to break down solid food, I've decided to offer her some diluted mashed up banana. I'm confident that waiting almost 7 months to introduce food was the right thing to do for her. She's moving the food around in her mouth and opening when she sees the spoon coming her way.

Next we'll try some home made sweet potatoes, maybe some pumpkin and definitely some seasonal squash. Uh-oh, I hope she doesn't turn orange! Oh the fun (and work) starts here!
