Rice Cereal!

On Friday, we went ahead and gave Abigail her first taste of solid food -- rice cereal!  Although, I really don't think it's considered solid, considering it was really thin and runny, but nonetheless, it was our girl's first time eating from a spoon and sitting up in her highchair like a big girl! :)

She definitely liked sitting in her chair.  We gave her a toy to occupy her while we figured out the right proportions of breast milk and the cereal.  It was surprising how watery the cereal looked.  I was expecting something more around the consistency of a milkshake, but it seemed more like the consistency of a watery gravy.

When we started feeding her, she seemed confused by the spoon.  She sucked on it and kept trying to grab it.  She seemed to like the cereal, and she ate it up, but she gets frustrated at the part where she has to wait in between bites when we're getting another spoonful for her.  When she's hungry, she's hungry and she doesn't like to wait!   

We told her, "All done!"
She just sat and stared, and looked like she was waiting for more.

It was a successful feeding!  

She seems to like it, but it will take a little while to get her used to eating from a spoon.  In a few weeks, we'll introduce some fruits and veggies too.  :)
