Ok, just read some stuff about introducing solids and if I'm understanding correctly, it should be ok for me to mash up some food to give Jazz. Perhaps we should buy more vegetables and I'll just get the barmix out and puree/moosh the same veggies we are having. One of the things I was reading is that a good indicator of when a baby is ready for solids is when they start to show an interest in what is on your dinner plate and start trying to reach for it. Jazz has been doing that for about a month. I'll tell Matt that we are going to make an effort to eat more veggies and to include Jazz in our meal time...which means we'll have to clear off the dinner table so we can eat at the table again. He's been pulling computers and things apart and they're all over the table.

With mashed up food, one thing I wanted to ask: I add milk and butter to mashed potato - is that ok for our aged babies or should I mash a little with nothing added and put that aside for Jazz before adding the milk and butter? Maybe add a bit of water to make it easier to mash?
