Charlotte vs. Sweet Potato

Now that Charlotte has turned six months she gets to start eating big girl food! We have decided to try a new infant feeding method that Mommy has done some research on. It is called Baby Led Weaning (although it is really about eating and not weaning). Basically the child is given food in solid pieces and learns to grab, lift, bite, and chew all at the same time. In other words, no pureed baby food for this kiddo!

For her first food Charlotte got to eat homemade sweet potato fries with us! (without the salt and oil of course.)
As quickly learned how to grasp the pieces and get them towards her mouth.
Towards being the key word!
With every bite she gets better and better.....
And she loves every single minute of meal time!!!
