Now that Emily has passed the 6 month mark, we decided it was time to start trying out solid foods. After doing some research on what the best way to start solids was, I found that this is yet another topic that no one agrees on. We decided to go with one that made sense to both of us, which basically entailed starting with the lower allergenic foods and then moving on from there. I had also always wanted to make my own food so we knew exactly what she was getting, so since acorn squash was in season, we decided to start there.
We chronicled her reactions below...
At first, she was excited to be in her big girl chair and was trying to figure out what daddy was doing. 
Her first bite... she was very interested in trying to help. No surprise there.
She was more interested in mushing the food in her hands than she was in actually eating any, so we decided to go with that for a little while.
At this point, we actually got some in her mouth, and she's not quite sure what to think about it. 
Oh wait, there it is... I think we're about done for today. 
Here she is another night... back to being the big helper.
We tried giving her the squash for a few days, but I don't think squash is her thing... maybe sweet potatoes will go over better. We'll have to wait and see, but it doesn't look promising.
