First Solids!
Sara had her first taste of solid food today (pureed bananas) and she did great. She only wanted about four “bites” of the stuff, but considering she hadn’t met a spoon or solid food prior to this evening, that’s pretty darned good. Our pediatrician OK’d her for solid foods back at her 4-month checkup, but we saw no sense in rushing it until she showed some signs of being ready.
She’s been paying a lot of attention to us when we eat lately, and she had been a hungry hippo all day today, so it seemed perfect timing — a little bit of solid food, a 4 oz. bottle of expressed breastmilk, and nursing on and off every hour or so this evening. Yes, every hour… another growth spurt!

A little humor … I sat scanning my RSS headlines this morning and noticed your Geek Habitat “First Solids” post and paused for a moment before navigating to it … I thought … I hope this isn’t a photo “of” Sarah’s “first solid.”
