Rice Cereal

Mia is now just shy of 5 months old and has taken an interest in our food lately, so we decided it was time to start her on solids. This past weekend we mixed up some very appetizing rice cereal (mmm...), strapped a bib on Mia for the first time, and went for it. We are only 2 days in, but so far so good. She ate in small quantities, but did in fact swallow on occasion.

Getting ready for the big moment

There was a little excitement...

...and a little anxiety...

"Mmmm...doesn't this look good, Mia?"

I don't think she's buying it.

So perhaps it was not her favorite meal... Certainly not as tasty as when Dad gave her a tiny taste of ice cream when I wasn't looking...

...but she didn't cry...

...although she may have left feeling a little disatisfied in the end...

DAY TWO

Lookin' good, baby... lookin' good. Just keep it down, please.
