Solid Foods

Today we did a trial run of solid foods with some rice cereal. The doctor said it's still a little early to start Ian on solids, but that we could try and, if he pushes the food out, to wait a week and try again. He did push most of it out, but seemed to really enjoy his high chair and was interested in the spoon. By the end, he would open his mouth for the spoon and kind of suck on it for a while and then most of the cereal would drip out of his mouth. Overall I think it was a success, and we'll start to gradually incorporate one rice cereal meal a day into our feeding routine.
