The first supper

We were planning to wait until 6 months before introducing solids, but to be honest, I'm tired of getting up twice in the middle of the night.  And hey, we're only two weeks away.  So, today Grady had his first supper - rice cereal with milk.  You will be shocked to know it was a well-documented affair. Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug in the video upload, but I will share the pictures.  Hopefully I can get the video up later.

He wasn't quite sure what to do with it at first, but he really quickly decided he liked it.  A lot!  He also liked getting it on his face, his fingers, his shirt, his bib, and just about anything else within reach.

 

He's got a grip on that spoon!  He's really got the flinging action down too - and on his first try!  He sure takes after his dad!

You'll also be shocked to know that Besa wanted to be part of whatever this new family activity was.

And he's done.

Anyway, a huge success - he probably ate about 70% of it.  Way better than I was expecting. 

All the moms I know have been saying not to expect a miracle with the sleeping.  And I'm not.  I'd be totally fine with 11 straight hours.  :)

Tomorrow:  Must buy high chair.
