Claire's first solid foods!

Claire has been giving all the signs that she's ready to start eating rice cereal (smacking her lips when we're eating dinner, wanting to eat earlier than her normal schedule, etc.). So we decided to start it yesterday. It was so fun and she did surprisingly well!

Here she is all ready to go in her high chair...she looks tiny in it! And of course, she's doing her favorite thing - eating her hands!



YUM!










Right from the start she did a great job of opening her mouth when we put the spoon up...but the whole "getting her tongue out of the way so you can swallow" thing was a little harder. So we learned to put it a little farther back in her mouth and that helped. But by the end, she was really getting it down.



More please!

She looked like she enjoyed the new treat. It took my kids forever to get the idea of solid foods.
