First Solid Food - Rice Cereal

I'm sure you expect me to go on and on about this big first. Well, I will share a couple of things. Emma made a big mess! More of the rice cereal came back out than went in, of course! Emma also kept trying to grab or push our hands or the spoon, which made it interesting. But, by the end she was doing pretty well. We think she enjoyed it once she figured out what to do. Eating solid food requires new skills! They say you can start solids anywhere from 4-6 mos. We are kinda experimenting with it to see if she's ready b/c they say it helps reduce some of the symptoms of reflux, which we are still very much struggling with. Side note: I think it's funny how you can give just about any object a smiley face and then stick it on baby clothes. Who knew an ear of corn had emotions? I better remember that next time I boil some! ;)
