Today, for the first time, my baby girl tried some not-completely-liquid food. Well, it was rice cereal with breast milk, and it was pretty close to liquid. But it was her first non-milk meal, how about that?
We captured her first bite and first reaction on camera. She opened right up, like a little birdie. Heck, she's been trying to grab food from our hands and plates for awhile now. But once that oozy cereal hit her mouth, poor Abigail gave us quite a sour expression. She tried more and ended up eating about a dozen bites. Of course, much of that was pushed back out by her tongue. But she welcomed each spoonful.
I know Andrew started on these 'semi-solids' earlier in his young life. (We were hoping it would help him sleep longer at night!) But somehow, this still seems so early. Like my baby girl is too young for this. But she's getting bigger. More coordinated with her hands. More expressive with her laugh. And she might just be ready to join us at the table.
I don't know how that cereal mush tasted to Abigail, but to me, it was bittersweet.

I feel the EXACT same way about Phoebe. I haven't started with solids because I just can't wrap my brain around the idea that she is already old enough for this stage. Where did the last 5 months go and why is time just flying by?
*sigh* It's so bittersweet isn't it? I have always struggled with each new milestone...Liam isn't fazed usually...it's me that struggles!!
I can't believe she is that old yet. You'll have to post pics of her eating for us.
