Ready, sit, eat!

Over the last few weeks our little Olivia has gotten quite good at holding up that little head of hers. So, with her 5 month birthday drawing near (its today!), we decided it was time to give "solids" a try. I say solids, but let's be honest - it is not much more then feeding her breast milk on a spoon! The rice cereal - which should really be called rice powder - doesn't add much thickness to the milk. But I suppose learning to eat from the spoon is the main thing. I guess that's why you wait on the real solids until they can actually get the food in their mouths! For now I'm just happy when I can actually get the spoon past her very agile tongue : )  Here are some shots of the play-by-play.

"Me in my new little seat."

"OK, I'm ready Mom. Bring on the food!"

"On second thought.... I'm not so sure..."

"Hmm... maybe not so bad."

"More please! This is fun!"

"Now Dad is getting in on the fun - I'm ready!"

"Hmm.. I could get use to this!"
