Not-so-Sweet Potatoes and the Attack of the Sippy Cup

We gave Caroline her first taste of food (other than cereal) on Thursday. Dr. G suggested we start with yellow/orange veggies, so I picked sweet potatoes.
Day one was a big success! She seemed to thoroughly enjoy the sweet potatoes...

First at breakfast...

Then again for dinner...
Full mouth!
Day 2 of sweet potatoes was yesterday (Friday). She ate a little bit for breakfast and then finished a whole container plus oatmeal cereal for dinner! What a hungry hippo!!!!! Next, we headed over to a friend's house for dinner. She was happy and playing, and as it neared bedtime, I decided to go ahead and give C her bottle. Well, apparently she was still full from her sweet potato domination...She proceed to throw up EVERYWHERE. All over her clothes, in my hands, and all over the rug (sorry Tif and Ryan!). We got her all cleaned up and changed into her jammies, at which time she proceeded to throw up twice more. Sigh. Poor, poor little pumpkin! I am pretty sure this was a result of over eating and not an adverse reaction to the sweet potatoes, but just to be sure we are taking a hiatus from them for a while...

Another first this week...The Sippy Cup.

Hmmm...

What is this thing?Is it for chewing?

How does it work?I almost got it!
YES! I figured it out!
But nothing came out!?!?!
Take that, sippy cup!!!!!!!!!!
She eventually threw it on the floor. I guess we still have a little work to do on the sippy cup :)

Yikes - sorry about the puking party!!! I am laughing because we gave Mattie a sippy cup last night for the first time, and I am pretty sure we have the exact same one (surprise!) and she did the exact same thing with it. Oh well, they have plenty of time to figure it out!
