Solid Foods, yeah!

Ella has been eating rice cereal for the past two weeks. She is getting much better now at keeping it in her mouth, that first week was a bit tricky! She seems to love it, which is wonderful. We see the doctor on Monday and should be able to start veggies and fruits next week! Here are some pics from the memorable first time eating cereal. Apparently we took too long of a video, so I can't get it to upload on here......bummer.

Here we are sitting in the high chair, bib on, pumped to get things started. What you don't see is that Brandon had the video camera set up and had camera in hand to document this huge moment.


I placed a little on her tray so she could check it out before eating it, she was not really sure what to make of it, and only put one finger in it.


After a few bites she was trying to do it herself, a bit ambitious I think!


Yummmmm, cereal

We made quite the mess, a lot of what went in, came right back out a few times before she started to get the hang of this whole eating thing.

It was about 1/2 way through that she started fussing. I think she was frustrated that she had more on her face than in her mouth!

Turns out, she just wanted to eat her hand instead

At the end, all she wanted to do was play with her bib!

Overall, it wasn't too bad. She did quite well for the first time, I was really surprised!! She has gotten so much better, and even though she can't tell me this, I think she looks forward to cereal time every day!
