Let's Eat!

I love firsts. Maybe it's a mom thing. Maybe I'm a complete sap. Maybe it's all of the above, but my goodness, I love firsts. I write down everything...the first time she flipped over, the first time she smiled, the first time she laughed. So today, it's the first time Olivia had solids!

I debated quite a bit what her first solid was going to be. Everything pointed to: it didn't matter! I settled on fortified rice cereal though. I figured it'd be a good starter, nothing startling, and nothing too extreme. Just a little plain rice cereal mixed with some of mom's breast milk and she lapped it up. I'm looking forward to making our own homemade baby food now. I'm thinking we'll have some squash or sweet potatoes next week! The farmers market is going to have a new patron...Miss Olivia is on the food prowl...watch out now!

My heart melts just a bit at how quickly she's growing. Didn't we just bring her home from the hospital?  How is she eating solids already?? Sigh...
