Food!

This was a big week for Zoe…after her 5 month checkup at the Dr. (her platelets were great), we found out that it would be a good time to start her on some solid food! The Dr. recommended starting with rice cereal. So, of course I ran out to the grocery store that night to find her some. We bought her Gerber’s rice cereal with bananas. (I know, sounds delicious!) It was too late that night, but the following night, we mixed some together and let the fun begin.

Here she is day 1 getting ready for her first bite:

Here she is after her first bite:

Needless to say, we didn’t realize how messy feeding would be…we had to change her and wash her off. So, by the second night, we made a few changes. We made the cereal a bit thinner, so it was easier for her to eat and we didn’t get her ready for bed BEFORE she ate. Turns out by day 2, Zoe was a real pro at this…

She was very excited to start her food on day 2:

As a treat (no pun intended), here are videos of both nights.

    How much cuter could eating look? In the second video it looks like she is taking the spoon and trying to feed herself. What a smart baby she is!!!!

    Once the spoon is in her mouth, you should kind of rub it against her top gums when you pull it out so it will fall in her mouth. She’ll know what to do with it from there.

    You do realize, don’t you, that this spells the beginning of the end of stinkless poopoo.
