Starting Solids?

STARTING SOLIDS? - As I mentioned in my last post, Sophie turned 5 months old this past Sunday! We can't believe how quickly the time is flying. I feel like I say that each month, but it really is true.

This has been a big week for us! We decided to celebrate her fifth month with starting her on rice cereal. I know, I know, some of you may be thinking "what? so early?!" while others are most likely thinking "what? you haven't done that yet?!" And the truth is, we were just waiting for Sophie to give us the signs that she was ready. Last week she gave them to us loud and clear when it was all we could do to hold her back from grabbing our food or drink at each meal.

So Monday night marked the big event! Here's a short video clip of her first couple of bites.




For those of you who can't play the video, see the pictures, with captions, below.

"Okay, I'm ready for it! Give me the food!"

"Wow, this is such a big deal, even my cool Uncle Brandon is watching?"

"Hmmm...not sure how I feel about this..."
"Let me inspect this further..."
"Nope, this is NOT the spaghetti you guys were having for dinner."
"How much more of this rice cereal nonsense do I have to be tortured with?"
As you can see, she's not a big fan, so we'll just take our time with it....I have a feeling when we introduce the more exciting foods she'll be more into it!
