{Solid Foods!}

At Evette's 4 month check up the doctor suggested we start her on some solids! He said she's gained plenty of weight [that's for sure :) ] and that she's probably ready for them. [Random - Dr. also said that modern research is showing that starting babies earlier on solids decreases their chances of having allergies. cool beans.]

Turns out, Evette loves food. Loves loves loves it. The first go with her barley cereal mush was tricky, she couldn't quite figure out how to open her mouth to eat it, she just made sucking motions with the spoon next to her lips, but she wouldn't open her mouth. By the next day she was a champ and we got into a rhythm. She hasn't quite figured out that I need to take the spoon out of her mouth in order to get more food on it though. Every time the spoon is not in her mouth she lets me know that she wasn't quite finished with it yet haha! She is getting more patient as time goes on, though.

 

Here are some action shots:

She likes to grab onto my  hands to help guide the spoon into her mouth.

Also, her new bowls are fun toys...

...and can double as a little hat!

Happy Eating!
