I have been torn on when we would introduce solids to Oliver's diet.... I'm not in a rush but at the same time Oliver seems so interested in food when we are eating that I've often wondered how he would handle rice cereal. Last night seemed like a good time to find out.

I put him in his high chair and mixed up a little rice cereal with some breastmilk... and surprisingly, he liked it. As soon as I put the spoon near his mouth he opened wide- and then wanted more & more. He doesn't know how to swallow but he surely got the idea. It was fun making a mess and to see him so interested... I even handed him the spoon and he put it in his mouth...I'm pretty sure he's going to love food as much as his momma.
