The First Solid

The beginning of our new food adventure......
First Bite.
Not so sure about it yet
Pretty into it at this point.
All done. He had it everywhere.


We started giving Jackson a little bit of rice cereal in his bottle. He loved it. He ate his bottle like a little shark baby. So we decided to see how he might like it as a solid. We watered it down quite a bit of course. But all in all I'd say it went over pretty well.

He wore his starfish bib. Sat in his high chair like a big boy. He sat waiting patiently for me to prepare his first meal. And then we started. He opened his mouth for me to put his first bite in. Then he rolled his little tongue around trying to figure out what the heck I'd just given him. Then out of nowhere he would give me a big smile and cereal would pour out the sides of his mouth. He would also blow when I'd give him a bite and it would fly everywhere. He kept doing it until he was covered in it. Then he would squeal from being so excited. Toward the end he was grabbing my hand so that he could eat more. It was pretty hysterical to see him so excited about it. We had to scrub him down good afterward. We took lots of pictures of this momentous occasion. Here are a few for you all to see.
