Appetites the shape of Texas

We started working on using/accepting a spoon with rice cereal at 5months old. Harper did really well.  She opened her mouth and swallowed what was on the spoon without a problem.  But sweet little Hadley really did not like the spoon or the cereal.  She would gag or spit every time I put the spoon in her mouth.  We kept practicing and finally after a few days she started to enjoy the rice cereal.  She could not quite swallow the food for a while, but they got it now.
We started giving them fruits and veggies at 6 months old.  They have eaten everything we have tried.

 Hadley does make a sour face at apple sauce but she still opens her mouth for more.  Martin and I laugh every time she tries it.

The girls are now getting breakfast and dinner.  At almost every meal Hadley sits like this.  I guess she thinks she can get to the food faster....she has come a long way.

I have been making their baby food and freezing it in these ice cube trays.  So every night I pop out two "Texas peas" and have dinner:)

The girls are OBSESSED with these fruit/mesh holders.  They love watermelon, cantaloupe, berries, bananas...anything we put in them.  They cry when they are empty or when we take them away to refill them with fruit.  They make a MESS but they are great!
