Yesterday was Elliott's first solid food. He has been hungry more often so we thought it was time to get him a little rice cereal. Krystal mixed it up and we gave him just couple spoon fulls. We're starting with very small amount to let his tummy get used to it and to see if it upsets his stomach at all. He's at the age where his digestive system might not be fully ready, but he's grown so much faster than what is average I was pretty confident that he was ready.
He got the food off the spoon pretty well. He still has the reflex to push things out with his tongue but he eventually got the rice cereal down. He seemed pretty happy about trying something new. After a few spoonfuls he never developed any signs of an upset stomach so maybe today we can step it up another spoonful.
It's another activity that is adding a whole new series of little funny facial expressions to his repertoire. It's so crazy that he's a little mini person with little mini expressions and gestures. So he'll be eating more real food and then crawling and walking and talking and those will add so much more.
