Natalie begins solid foods...

After getting back from the cruise, we started solid foods with Natalie. She has been really interested in our food for the past few weeks, so she was definitely ready! We started with peas, and after some initial shock at a different taste than milk in her mouth, she seemed to like them just fine! This first time was funny just to try to get her to learn to open her mouth for the spoon and all. Since this first trial, we've also done carrots (which she LOVES) and the baby oatmeal. She has made great gains in opening her mouth and getting her tongue out of the way, and she is really a very good eater (i.e., she swallows just about everything!). Fun times...
