Yummy, Yummy! Your first solid food...

Hannah, you are starting solid foods this week. Up until this point, you have been exclusively breastfed. It's something I'm very proud of and something that has hopefully benefited you. The pediatrician suggested we start you on solid food at 6 months.

Daddy is prepping for the big event by putting together your high chair.

Success #1, you enjoy sitting in your high chair!





We gave you your own spoon and even your own sippy cup (it was empty, much to your dismay) so that you can start associating those items as eating tools.

Your first food was rice cereal. It's a typical first food for infants. We had no trouble getting you to open your mouth (you are putting everything into your mouth these days); however, you weren't too impressed with what you tasted. When Daddy went to give you another spoonful, you promptly shut your mouth and pursed your lips. What little he did get in your mouth was immediately spit out!

We gave you solids twice the first day. The second attempt was much more successful. I think you let us get about 5 spoonfuls in.

Welcome to solids Hannah!
