Today, Emilia got to experience her very first taste of rice cereal! She has been showing signs of wanting to eat for a couple weeks...watching and mimicking us as we opened our mouths and put food in. As first time parents, we are really playing by the rules, so, with her 6 month mark just a week and a half away, we decided to let her try it out! Emilia was put into her high chair for the first time and she waited patiently as I mixed the rice cereal with a little warmed milk. We made it really thin as we wanted to be sure her first experience was a good one and she didn't gag at the new texture. We set up the computer with the web cam on so Grandma and Grandpa could watch and away we went!
She was a pro from the first spoonful...eager for more yummyness from the first taste to the last. Her little hands would reach for the spoon as each mouthful approached. The bib turned out to be on just for show because she didn't spit out one bit of her delicious new food. Now, off to the books for Mom and Dad to see how long we need to wait before offering something else...and which food we should offer next...a fruit or a veggie?
