Time for Solids

Getting ready for the big event. Anticipation for what is coming.

Trying to decide whether Sami likes it.

Yes. Another bite, please.

6 Months has come, and it is now time to start Samantha on solids. Today was the big day. Of course, "solids" is a word to be used very loosely. (No pun intended, well - maybe). Solids is basically specially formulated rice cereal mixed with so much breast milk that you are practically feeding her liquid via spoon. Of course, it tastes different, and this is Samantha's introduction to food. Each day, you make it a little thicker. For the first 2 weeks, Samantha will only get the rice cereal. After that, she will start to be introduced to new foods.

Samantha did well with her first feeding. She didn't spit it out too bad, and she seemed to like it. I look forward to introducing her to all kinds of new foods - like pizza!
