first solids

Miller was showing all of the classic signs of being ready to explore new tastes and start eating solids. I, on the other hand, wasn't quite sure if I was ready for my baby to take such a big step towards growing up!

During dinnertime, we put Miller in his highchair next to the table while we ate our meal. He watched us attentively as we ate and even mimicked us by opening his mouth when we put food in our mouths. When he sat on our laps, he would reach for the food on our plates. So, we decided to give solid foods a try.

Give me that food!

Day 1-rice cereal was a success! Miller really seemed to like it. He would lean towards the food and kept opening his mouth for more.

Day 2-rice cereal did not go nearly as well. He kept turning his head and leaning back away from the food.

After a few attempts, we decided to try bananas instead. They are a little sweeter than rice cereal, so we thought he might like them better.

We were wrong! He kept making the funniest sour faces. Check out this video of Miller eating bananas.
