On Wednesday we fed Ava rice cereal for the first time. At Ava's 4 month check up the pediatrician said I could start Ava on solid food but I wasnt quite ready to yet and she wasn't really either. I wanted her to be able to sit better in her bumbo seat and have a little better head control before starting. Over the past two weeks she has been sitting better in her seat and she has been very interested in watching us eat. I took that as our cue to start solids. I didn't expect her to like it as much as she did! I mixed the cereal with breastmilk and made it very runny for her first taste so maybe she thought I was just feeding her breastmilk from a spoon. Ava has been doing her little motor mouth sounds a lot these days and my mom warned me that if I keep encouraging it she is going to do it when she is eating and spit everywhere. Mom, you were right! You can see her doing it a little bit on the video. It's really funny so I don't know how I am going to put a stop to that.
By the way, I didn't realize when the video was rolling or that I was even in the video! Excuse any long pauses or weird faces on my behalf.

Oh my goodness, that is such a big deal! She liked it! Everything was so cute! The way she grabbed the spoon, what mikey said about putting it all over her hands, how she smiled at the end, even how Mikey said that you were not in it! Soooo cute!
So stinking cute! I'm glad she likes it, she did a great job. Now it'll be fun giving her other foods and seeing her reaction!
love the little bird mouth!
