Tiny's First Meal

This is her very first bite of real food...organic brown rice cereal.

She's definitely ok w/ the food thing.

Hmmm...what's this spoon?

She's decided Dad isn't doing a good enough job of feeding her, so she's helping him out.

The rice cereal didn't appeal for her for very long so I tried some bananas.  She had tasted them before when I had been eating one, so I figured it was safe.  She liked the taste of the banana better, but wasn't so sure about the texture of smashed bananas.

This is what she does all the time...she arches her back  for everything.  While she's on the floor, when you're holding her, in her bouncy chair, in the bumbo (obviously), in her swing...you name it she arches to get out of it.  Or just to show how excited/mad she is about something.  In this case I think she was excited to be eating.

I love that little face

I love how she looks you right in the face...she such a little communicator with her eyes as she looks right into yours.

Our Tiny One had her first taste of food (from a spoon not a rice wafer) a day before she turned 6 months.  She's always been a very good eater, so I'm anticipating she'll be a good solid food eater.

Dad fed her her first bites of brown rice cereal and she did pretty good.  She was all about handling the spoon though...kept grabbing it and pulling to her mouth, which made for some messes.  She wasn't very interested in the rice cereal for long, so I busted out the bananas.  She'd had small bites of it a couple of weeks earlier when I had been eating one so I knew she could handle them.  She liked the taste of the banana better, but wasn't so sure about the texture.  I'm hoping she's not a texture baby, b/c Shordy is, and it can be a pain in the behind.

Anyway...over all she did great with the food thing.  We'll see how it goes from here, but she's moved onto her next big thing...eating real food.

Now, I get to deal with the repercussion of solid food...solid poopy, stinky diapers.  Yeah for me.  :)
