Guess What…Mommy and Daddy Gave Me Baby Food!

Lucy has been sitting in her Boppy with us at the dinner table for awhile now. Recently she has been showing interest in our food and showing signs that she is ready to try solids. So we decided to give it a shot and see how it goes.

We decided to start with organic rice cereal. Lucy sat in her Boppy seat with the little tray on and watched us prepare her cereal. She was squealing in delight, as if she knew what we were doing! HA! We mixed a tiny bit of rice cereal with an ounce of breastmilk. The consistency was very running, almost still a liquid.

The first bite she spit right out! And then gave us this look!


Then she tried again, spit most of it out, and flashed us the biggest smile! I think she was proud of herself.


By the last few bites she was literally leaning forward to get her mouth to the spoon! It was so cute! We managed to feed this happy baby almost the whole small serving we had prepared. I would say half went on her bib and half of it in her mouth! :) We plan to take the introduction to foods slowly. We will give Lucy cereal once a day, in the evening, for a few weeks to get her use to solids before moving to vegetables and then finally fruits!


Our plan is:
1. Rice cereal
2. Oatmeal cereal
3. Orange veggies
4. Green veggies
5. Fruits

*I do have to admit it is so hard for me to believe our baby is growing up so fast :(
