A solid start

Yes, we gave our little munchkin some rice cereal on Tuesday night as we all sat around the table and ate "as a family" - or, at least, attempted to, since each of us had to switch-off eating while the other fed Daisy. Anyway, we got to use our high-chair for the very first time and, despite being still a little small, it seemed to hold her upright pretty well.

As you can see, Daisy had noooo problem adjusting to eating off a spoon. Of course there was the prerequisite mess but after two mouthfulls she was practically straining herself out of the seat for more. With her hands being so active these days, we had to keep the bowl at arm's length or she would have just skipped the spoon and hand-fed herself. As you can see by her mucky hands, this was done to varying success throughout.

We'll carry on with rice cereal for a while because it's still quite early for solids (most babies don't start until 6 months) and then add-in some vegetables when she reaches 5 months. Of course, I'll keep you updated about how all this "goes down", if you pardon the double entendre.

TTFN!
