Brian and I had our camera rolling, completely and totally expecting some sort of reaction. Kate surprised us both by acting like she had been eating solids her whole life. There was barely even a grimace! We supposed that could do with the fact that rice cereal tastes even blander than plain breastmilk...
I swear this girl is reading What to Expect Your First Year as a Baby because she is so completely perfect! Grimace or not!
One thing that Brian and I both realized with our little foody experiment is that we definitely need to go get some big girl food dishes. Up until now we have not needed any dishes whatsoever, so when we went to give Kate some rice cereal we realized that we didn't have anything to feed her with. Fortunately, Target is right down the road, so Brian came back with some colorful and perfect spoons that we used! (We'll get some bowls next shopping trip.)
And just when we thought we were getting the hang of this whole parenting thing something changes...
...Solid foods are an entirely new ballgame. A realm that we are both unfamiliar with, but it is a very exciting transition! It's time to start introducing Kate to the so many delicious foods out there!
Let the games begin!
For people who love food, introducing babies to flavor is super exciting! I can't wait to see how Kate reacts to food that isn't so bland. :)
ReplyDeleteBtw, Kate reminds me soooo much of Ella at this age! She took to solids like she'd been eating from a spoon since the day she was born.
How is that possible?! I totally expected some sort of funny face and to be honest was kind of looking forward to it, but I got nothing! I suppose Kate's palette is ripe and ready and I'll get the face when she lets us know she does not really care for something! :)
