Let's Start the Solids!

Since the pediatrician recommended giving Elliot some solid food, we figured what the heck. So it was off to the grocery store for some rice cereal. But how would Elliot take to it? Since he was 3 months old, he's been very interested in our big people food. Anytime a drink passes him, he reaches out for it. He gazes longingly at our plates. So it seemed probable he would like it.

And he did! Well, at least day one was a success, we'll see how it goes from here on out. He enjoyed the process, liked the spoon, ate up a nice size portion of cereal. It was fun!


Here you can see his desire to take control and wield the spoon himself.
