Milestone ahead! Maggie’s had her first solid food. Well, “solid” may be a bit of an exaggeration. Rice cereal made with liberal amounts of breast milk is hardly chewing food, but enough so to put on a spoon. We started with just a half teaspoon of cereal, and look — we don’t even need Maggie to make a mess of things!
First bites were pretty darned successful. I’m sure it doesn’t taste radically different from her regular meals. Just the spoon takes a bit of getting used to.
She didn’t need a bath afterwards, and neither did we! Success!
Now we’re having a teeny bowl of cereal every morning, and each day she improves her eye-tongue coordination. What a big girl! Next step: squash.



I think you deserve comments! It really is a milestone, when they start eating food, is the spoon one that her great-grands sent her?
We are enjoying the daily picture and the blog as we can watch her grow from day to day and she is so sweet and pretty. Babies are so wonderful. I think teeth come next!
our lov to you all. MJC and BC4
