These days pediatricians recommend waiting six months before starting a baby on solids. Thomas, however, has been attentively watching us eat for a while now and lately he even started lunging at our food (he got his whole hand in some turkey and dumplings just today), so we decided it was time. The soupy oat cereal mix we mixed up Tuesday evening wasn't exactly "solid", but that didn't stop Thomas from enjoying his first meal of something besides breastmilk.
"Mmm...where have you been hiding this stuff?"
And just look what we're in for now that we've begun...
(You've just got to love the stunned look in the picture on the right - "Dude, this stuff is awesome!")
We can't quite call the first feeding a complete success: Thomas is going to have to fight the spoon for a few more weeks before I'll be convinced that he is truly a master.
Victory, for now...
