First food

Last week, in a desperate attempt to help Luke sleep a little better at night, we gave Luke some rice cereal mixed with breastmilk. Surprisingly, he didn't spit it all out! He ate in total, probably a quarter of a teaspoon. I know its nothing now but hopefully in a few weeks he'll eat a little more, and his tummy will be a little fuller at night. We haven't been consistent about giving it to him every day- I was previously in no rush to start him on solids for several reasons. And still, I'm not too serious about it, part of me can't believe he's even old enough to eat solid food!

first bite ever!

"what on earth is this stuff?"

Luke is sitting up rather well now, still wobbly but well enough that I can say that I think he's officially sitting up! The high chair has become a perfect spot for me to put him down, Luke doesn't really want to sit in the swing anymore because he's too reclined. He tries to pull himself up on the little tray, so I think we'll retire that soon and bring out the jumparoo. Beth adored the jumparoo, I hope Luke likes it too!

Here he is just sitting in the high chair, chewing on a spoon (without food). The last picture is his fish face, he just started doing this after we gave him the rice cereal. After every bite he'd make this face, it's so funny!
