Lately Clara has been staring at me and Phillip eat, and since she is over five months old, we thought it was time to introduce her to 'solid' food. I heard stories of babies completely rejecting the new food and spitting it all out, and if you know how Clara is with even taking a bottle, I was a little worried.
But... she did great! She even helped me move the spoon from the bowl to her mouth. She only had one tablespoon of rice cereal mixed with 2 tablespoons milk, and I think we got more in her mouth than on the bib. She eats one solid meal a day and tomorrow we'll try sweet potatoes. I got a book called Super Baby Food with advice on feeding babies through their toddler years. Also explains how to prepare and make baby food, which I plan to try. We'll see how it goes.
So glad to hear it's going well! Maddie's cereal just ends up on her chin =)
