Our Newest Adventure - Solid Food

Since Sariah has hit every other mile stone very early, we weren't surprised when she showed signs of being ready for solid foods at 5 months. The experts say try solids between 4 and 6 months, so I guess she's pretty average for the food but it isn't something I wanted to push. I wanted to wait as long as I could before starting food. Well, Sariah had other plans! When she started waking up in the middle of the night and taking a full feeding, it was time. So, here's the first round - plain cereal!! She did very well and picked it up almost immediately.





Once we knew she had no allergies to the cereal, we started her first veggie - PEAS! We did this last night at Grandma Wilkes' house and it was great. At first, she wasn't quite sure what this new taste was but then acclimated and ate like a champ!

Here's the first spoon:


And the face...


And then, as so characteristic of her, a great big smile.


Still thinking about the taste...


Anticipating the next bite...


And then she's just done!


Yup, really done.
