Elle's First Solid Food

I was going to wait till Elle was 6 months to start feeding her solids but she just looks at our food so longingly I decided, what the heck, she's ready.

So on Saturday we got Eva's old booster chair out of the closet, set it up and, thanks to Stacey my neighbor we have a huge supply of rice cereal, I mixed some of it up and we took a mass amount of pictures....well Jeremy took a mass amount of pictures. Believe it or not I deleted a lot of them, these are the cream of the crop. p.s. she was also officially 5 months on Saturday, so these are also her 5 month old pics.

Hey, what's going on? Why's the camera out? What's in there? What's that? Who are you people and where is my real family?(ok I made the last one up.)

First Official Bite!

What the heck?! I'm getting some of that stuff you guys are always stuffing in your faces? What's this? Do I like it? I can't decide.

Hmmm, interesting...seems ok.

Yeah, that feels pretty good on the...what's the word? Oh yes, gums, feels good on the gums.

I should probably try it again, this is my first time.

Again. Just for quality assurance purposes.

Umm, yeah. I like it, in fact I love it, I can't get enough.

I'm the coolest baby ever! I am so good at this eating thing. Do other baby's know about this?

Faster mom! Pile it in!

DAD! Not while I'm eating, please...are you trying to make me choke?!

Almost gone?! No way! Already?!

So good. No wonder you guys are always scarfing down something. I think I like this whole food thing. Although mom makes some pretty great milk. Luckily I can have my milk and eat rice too!

Good thing I didn't have to wait another month for this...this is the life. You guys think 4lbs. in one month is a lot, just wait, I bet I can gain 6lbs with this stuff on the menu.
