Eating

Leah has begun eating solid foods! We were given the thumbs up to begin solids at Leah's four-month wellness exam, but we waited until she was just about five months old to take this huge step. It has been a slow process introducing solids to Leah, and the lightbulb still hasn't gone off completely, but we are slowly seeing progress as Leah learns to swallow and eat rice cereal. Ruthie loves helping, she has fed spoonfuls to Leah a few times, and it always helps her to feel included and excited.

Here is a photo from the night we first fed Leah rice cereal, her expression says it all - timid, uncertain, a bit curious, but excited too. That about sums it up. The next six months are sure to bring us lots of exciting new things and flavors!
