First Solids - oct 25

You've been eyeing us like a hawk when we eat for about a month now. Figure that you've certainly earned the opportunity to try out some solids and see what you think. Plus- big brother has been urging it on. He asks all the time. So today, after your four month check up, we gave it a go. And as we ate dinner tonight he asked if you could have your food.

Since a report came out TODAY alerting consumers to arsenic in rice products of all sorts - we passed on rice cereal and those mum mums that were so handy and delicious. At least until the contamination issue gets under control. So we got you some oatmeal powdered cereal with sweet potatoes. You chowed down. By the second bite, you reached up, grabbed that spoon and guided it straight to your Bitsy little mouth like a champ. For comparison, it takes many babies weeks before they even swat and attempt to do that.
