Baby Gourmand

We decided to start Rhys on solids today, since he's been really hungry and grabbing at food for a bit, and the doctor had already given us the go-ahead, and he's in that 4-6 month range that is usually recommended for starting solids. (5 months today, in fact!)

We weren't quite sure if he was ready, but we figured it would just be a test anyway. So we made him organic instant baby oatmeal, mixed up with breastmilk, to try. He liked it. A lot. He opened his mouth wide for it, and grinned like a tiny mad thing, and swallowed way more of it than I would have expected for a first try. He yelled at us to make him a second portion when he finished the first bit.

I guess this is a new part of our routine now!

Mmmm!
