First Bowl of Cereal

We gave Ella her first solid food, rice cereal, two days after she turned 6 months. She definitely did not get it at first - she eagerly reached for the bowl and happily opened her mouth for the spoon, but then didn't do anything - she just left her mouth opened and kind of sat there looking at us, although very cheerful about the whole thing. It was adorable.

Ready to dig in, she went right for the bowl and spoon and was ready to get started!
So excited!

This is fun!
Happy eater

All done (and ready for a bath)!
After first meal

After a full week, she finally really seemed to grasp the idea, and began to lean forward, open her mouth for the cereal, close her mouth, swallow, and then open it again for another spoonful. She LOVES her cereal!!
