Feeding time at the zoo

We are gradually giving the babies a variety of pureed foods. So far they've tried rice cereal, bananas, sweet potatoes, applesauce, and avocado. We're making all of our own food - it's so easy just to mash up the food and mix in some breastmilk to make it liquidy. We hope to find the time soon to make some big batches that we can freeze. Zoey and Abby are the most enthusiastic and skilled eaters, and they each seem to have different favorites (Zoey - applesauce; Abby - bananas). Lucas doesn't quite have the hang of how to get food off the spoon and use his tongue to swallow it, but he tries. And Zoey is the messiest, of course.

The babies enjoyed avocado. Note that Abby is the only one without a green beard. She is a very neat eater.


Unlike the hilarious sweet potatoes, Lucas is very serious about his rice cereal


Zoey was not in the mood for rice cereal the other day


Today Zoey found eating rice cereal w/banana to be extremely exhausting
