First Food

Ella has started eating a bit of real food. We decided to give her her first bites one day before her 6 month birthday. She had been acting interested in eating, but she is interested in EVERYTHING we do, so that is no surprise.

We just skipped the rice cereal and went right to a good ol' classic, mashed bananas.

We started by putting the mashed banana right in front of her to see what she would do.

She was less interested in eating the banana, and more interested in just smearing it around.

The next time, we tried the spoon. A bit more successful, but she was still more interested in the spoons and throwing them around then actually eating. She did give us a couple of interesting faces when the banana went in. Of course we didn't catch in on camera, but here are a couple of cute ones.

Still nothing as good as the breast milk! And we do not feel the need to rush into feeding her too much. She gets everything she needs from nature's perfect food!
