"Real" food





Aly has been eyeing our dinner plates for the past month and a half, but we've managed to hold off on solid foods until now. The pediatrician's advice was to start her out on rice cereal mixed with Mom's milk until it was soupy... yuck. What a way to be introduced to real food - rice cereal. Aly didn't hide her distaste very well, although she seemed to like the idea of chewing on the rubber-coated spoon with her two new (and very first) teeth.

We later found that if we mixed the rice cereal with some watered-down white grape juice, Aly found it tolerable. Like granulated sugar on your cornflakes, I guess...

That first picture made me laugh! She looks a little distressed! But, it's nice to see that as the pictures progress, she's back to the happy Aly - messy face and all!

The fun food adventure begins! Way to go Aly on the two new teeth!
