Since Lisa spent so much time today making baby food for the person, we decided to see how Molly liked it while Lisa was still here. We chose a relatively safe food (read: not likely to cause an allergic reaction), pears. Since pears are also one of her Daddy's favorite foods, it seemed a safe bet that Molly would like them. Note that the video is almost four minutes long, but there is nothing unexpected at the end, so only watch the whole thing if you just need a cute baby fix.

Molly eating like a big person
Well, sort of - if big people didn't have teeth and needed all of their food pureed. Or perhaps if a big person did have teeth, but her jaw were wired shut and all food needed to be delivered through a straw. If Molly were compared to someone in either situation, then yes, what she did today was eat like a big person.

Look What I Did to Perfectly Good Food

Baby serving size is about 1 tablespoon, so I used ice cube trays to make individual servings. Once the cubes are frozen, I will stack the trays in labeled freezer bags.
The whole process with cleaning up took approximately 2 hours and yielded 72 servings. I recommend using a food processor rather than a blender because the bigger blades can pulverize meat better. It is also less likely to blow up and explode hot sweet potato all over your kitchen and your shirt. Not that that happened to me.

Molly Versus the Spoon
An epic battle raged today between Molly's mouth, her fingers, and a tiny spoon laden with the tiniest amount of rice cereal. The goal was simple: get the food to Molly's mouth without dumping it down her bib.
This link goes to the first time Molly ever tried rice cereal. Actually, this is the first ever bite of something that is not breast milk in Molly's entire life (well...there was actually breast milk in the rice cereal).

...and this video shows the next time. The purpose of the spoon is not lost on Molly.
