Eating time

This morning I gave Emmy Oatmeal for the first time.  As you can see from the picture below, I don't think any of it got in her mouth.  She is now grabbing for the spoon and wiping her mouth with her hands so it is quite a mess.  Anyone have any tips on to how to properly get a baby to start eating?!  Veggies or fruit first?!  I have heard from some people it is best to start with veggies (the orange ones) and other say fruit is fine.  And is it true you shouldn't make your own carrots?  Yes, you heard it I am going to attempt to make homemade food.  A little ambitious with my schedule - absolutely, but I think it can be done.

Our mornings sure have gotten interesting now that I am trying to feed her breakfast.  I was pretty frassled getting out the door this morning and to top off the morning I locked my keys in the car outside her daycare!  Thank God I had already taken her out of the carseat before I stupidly shut the door to get a toy that fell to the ground.  Fortuantely, Josh was near by too or I could have been really stuck.  I have to say I felt pretty stupid running in to daycare and asking to use the phone!

Gross - half eaten oatmeal

Um, I think it is time for a highchair...
