i've heard quite a few opinions about when to start on solids, but we waited until elise started showing an interest (thank you vanessa for that advice!)...not to mention that she goes shorter and shorter times between feedings, and now wakes up more in the night to eat. soooo...she had her first solids today. it's funny to say "solids" because really it's just a bit thicker than milk. anyway, here she is in her high chair. i let her play with the toys first. i think she liked it, what do you think? :)
then, we started eating with her big girl bowl and spoon. from the first few bites, she was trying to get the spoon to help me (or do it herself!). she ate every last bite!
i look at her and cannot believe how grown up she's getting. i remember her first ultrasound when she was a peanut with a heartbeat...and the next one when she waved at us. then she was born and was an 8 pound cutie that couldn't do anything. now, she can smile, sit, roll over (yup, that's new from the past few days!)and now, she's starting to eat real food! it's just amazing...it's amazing how God works and how He designed the human body to grow and develop.
a few more days of rice cereal and we're either going to try banana or avocado...i'm sure we'll keep you posted!
