Solids!

On Wednesday evening, Mommy & Daddy were going to give me my first feeding of solids. At around 4:00, Mommy fed me and I went down for a nap. They were waiting for me to wake up, all ready with the cereal (that Mommy made from scratch!) the high chair and the camcorder and digital camera. Well, guess what? I didn't wake up!! I slept all evening, and didn't wake up until 3:30 am! What was up with that?!
So solids got postponed to the next night.

So Thursday evening, I had my first taste of solids. Not sure yet if I like it, I think I'm going to have to think about that for a while. Mommy mixed the cereal with expressed breast milk to make it thinner as I am only used to drinking milk. She gave me small spoonfuls, but most of it just ended up dribbling out of my mouth onto my bib. I don't think much actually got past my mouth. After a few spoonfuls, it triggered my gag reflex and I spit up some of my last feeding! On Friday morning, mommy tried again, and at least this time I didn't spit up, but still didn't take in much, if anything. Guess this solids thing isn't as easy as we thought!

Mommy bought me an organic banana (only the best for me!) which she is going to try as soon as it is ripe enough. Maybe I'll like that better than the cereal. Here's a couple of pictures of the momentous event!
