That's right, our little baby is growing up! It's amazing that she is 6 months old already. So, in honor of Alexa turning 6 months old, she got her first taste of solid food! Well, sort of solid. It's actually kind of mushy. We started with rice cereal on Saturday and have continued feeding her every night! She loves it!
Here are some photos from her FIRST taste of solids on Saturday. She seemed a little bewildered by it all. And she kept grabbing her spoon. And she spit out the cereal and made such a mess, getting it all over her hands and in her hair and all over herself - and us!
Here are photos from Alexa's SECOND night of solids on Sunday. She got a little better at opening her mouth for the food! We make airplane or buzzing sounds to get her to open. She's still spitting a lot out, but some seems to be getting down her!
We'll continue with rice cereal for a full week, then try oatmeal cereal for a week starting Saturday, followed by barley cereal. After that, we'll move on to fruits and vegetables! Fun!
Gear notes: Love the suction bowl from Pottery Barn; spoons from Playtex; bibs from The Modern Baby Co. and bbib from OOTS; spill mat from Mimi the Sardine!
