"Mmmmmm!"

Yesterday, Parker got her first "real" meal. We had tried the rice cereal back in January, and it didn't go badly, just not wonderfully and we didn't want to push it considering all the changes that she was going through with me going back to work. Plus, when we went to the doctor, she told us to wait as long as we could (closer to 6 months) to give her solid food. Over the last few weeks, Parker has been making it very clear that she is ready to EAT! So, we gave it a whirl again last night. It was hilarious!

At first she didn't really know what to do, but she clearly liked it. She just kept getting really excited, sticking her tongue out
and saying "mmmm." (Literally, "mmmm." We have a video - it's frickin' hysterical!)
5 minutes later she had gotten the hang out it and was swallowing the cereal and opening her mouth as wide as possible (with tongue hanging out) faster than I could get it on the spoon! She ate the entire bowl.
This morning when we put her in her high chair to play while we ate (which we normally do) she got all excited thinking she was going to get more! Not until dinner, baby. :)

What a big girl! She's so receptive to it! She's practically ready to use that spoon herself too!

Sadie LOVES to eat! No real surprise - she is my daughter! Today she tried avocado and she LOVES, LOVES, LOVES it! She's been downing sweet potatoes for the last 2 weeks or so and can't get enough of those either. I wasn't sure what to expect from the avocado, but she was all to eager to get more and more and more! :) It is funny, although an extremely messy process! :)
