Calista's 1st semi-solid meal - 9 Jan

I was quite adamant about waiting till 6 months before feeding Christian solids, but am slightly more relaxed with Calista, especially since she started waking up more often at night to drink milk...bought some rice cereal last Sunday and promptly fed her a teaspoon of it mixed with EBM last Monday.

She loved it! Unlike Christian, who still had a slight tongue-thrust reflex and choked a little when we first started him on solids, she slurped it all up with a slightly surprised and then crazed look. Hahaaa..i had to be careful not to let her tip the bowl of cereal over cos she attacked the spoon and bowl with such gusto after realising that we were feeding her something new. For the first time in her life, she was having something other than milk and her salty fist. =P

Forgot to take pictures of it cos I took a video, so here's a pic of her licking / chomping on a piece of apple instead.
