She Eats!

Want another example of how big our girl is getting? She eats oatmeal! We gave Ellie her first "solid," and I use that term loosely, last night and it was a hit.

It was so different from the first time Jack ate food. Jack was 4.5 months and his first food was rice cereal and Ellie is one week shy of 6 months and we tried oatmeal. The first time we fed was a fairly miserable experience. He hated it, cried and we force fed him anyway. On the other hand, our little porker lived up to her reputation and chowed! After one taste, she literally leaned into the spoon. She ate the whole bowl! (2 tablespoons of milk mixed with one tablespoon oatmeal.)She looks a little unsure, though, huh?She had oatmeal tonight and she liked it again! What a big girl!

i can't believe she's 6 months old! looks like waiting was the right thing with her -- she was ready. she also looks remarkably... clean?
