first foods

i didn't know this, had to read somewhere that papaya is the traditional first food for babies in kenya.  of course, kenya's a big place.  probably means a particular tribe.  anyhow, in addition to this little tidbit, mathias' grandmother gave her babies papaya when her milk was not enough.  and we had a lovely little papaya, so i thought the time would be perfect for zoe to try her first solid food.

well, i have super cute little video to demonstrate that she just doesn't seem to be into eating solids, but i have been having a terrible time uploading videos.  and now i just can't upload them at all.  (anyone else having this problem??)

anyhow, here's a photo:

a few days later we tried sweet potato and got the same face:

we keep trying a little bit at a time... the other day she ate a few spoons of butternut squash soup from omi and today she at a little apple sauce.  she seems to like it better if it's a piece of fruit she can suck on.  

i guess i'll just keep trying!
