Your first real meal. 2 months ago I took you in for your checkup and the docotr was worried that you ahdn;t gained enough weight and suggested that I start you on solids...well Millie did the same thing so I wasn't too worried. You are vibrant and bright eyed...aware of what is going on around you and doing all the things you shoudl be doing at your age...so I decided to wait until your 6 month mark. but I had to give in a little early...you were just ready. the last couple fo weeks you cannot stop reaching and staring when we are eating. You want some of the good stuff. So tonight we gave you oatmeal. You wanted to grab the spoon worse than you wanted to eat. You couldn't quite figure the whole thing out. You weren't sure if you should open your mouth or not. And you weren't sure about the taste. You kept getting the shivers...like the pee shivers...so eaither you were going pee or you were complaing about the taste of it..but no screams or anything. You managed to eat a small bowl...or at least smear a small bowl all over yourself...your clothes...your face...and your bumbo. I was sad that the camera was broekn and we weren't able to get any pictures of the occasion....but I am sure in the next day or so we'll be able to get a few snapshots if we can find daddy's camera.
