Sand

 On Sunday my friend Annie and I took the kiddo's to the beach!  The day started out super sunny and warm, once we got to the beach the clouds had rolled in but luckily it was still warm! 

 I let Ruby have fun in the sand.  She was way into dipping her toys in the sand while her friend Jackson just wanted to dig holes!

 She face planted!

Ruby is also doing great at eating, so far she has tasted avocado, apples, pears, sweet potatoes and whole grain brown rice cereal. 

First food

Yesterday we gave Ruby her first solid food, avocado mixed with breast milk.  I put her in her bumbo and put the bib on her.  She was excited about the bib and pulled, sucked and squealed at it. 

I cut the avocado in half and let her see it and touch it.

Then I stuck it in the food mill and ground it up,

and added some breast milk.

I put some on a spoon and stuck it up to her mouth.  I opened my mouth big and she mimicked me.  I put the spoon full of avocado in her mouth and she moved her tongue around and spit most of it out. 

She was more interested in grabbing at and playing with the spoon, so after a while we just gave it to her.

All in all I think she liked it.
