And so the solids begin

Harper had her first taste of cereal this morning.  Some of you may be thinking, "shouldn't she already be eating cereal?"  And some of you may be thinking, "already????"  

I was in no rush to start her on solid food.  Even though most pediatricians {Harper's included} tell you to start solids when they turn 4 months old, this dietitian believes that breast milk only {or formula if BM isn't an option} is best for the first 6 months.  I could tell you my reasons, but who out there really cares?  And yes, Harper isn't quite 6 months old, but she's a lot more ready for solids now than she was at 4 months!

She did really well with the cereal, too, as you can see in the pictures below.  I have a feeling she is going to love all kinds of food, just like her momma :)

And no, I haven't bought any vegetable or fruit jars yet.  Baby steps people.

 Yay!  High chair time!

 "If I eat this, can I please have that bowl?"


"I think I like it!"





 Isn't this the cutest bib ever!?  Thanks Libby!
