Sweet Potato

Matilda is on day three of “The Great Sweet Potato Introduction of 2009!” She seems to be taking to them alright. She was racked with colic pains on day 2 but I think that’s because I’m an a-hole and ate lots of chocolate. Combine that with the fact that her teeny tiny system has never processed a “solid” before and you’ve got some bad gas and constipation pains…

Early evening yesterday, she finally passed what seemed to be pure sweet potato. Justin and I were bracing ourselves for a terribly, stinky load of poo but… nope. We’ve also added Gripe Water to her diet these last couple days. Knock on wood, she seems to be calming a bit. This morning she took to the sweet potato without too much fuss. Her facial expressions suggest that she thinks sweet potatoes are weird and a little yucky–in a “I must have MORE!” kind of way.

Next up is apples. I’m hoping to get a “Holy Moly that tastes GOOOOOOOOD!” expression on those….
