Mary's First Solid Meal

We started our little girl on "solid" foods this afternoon! This is a quick video of her very first meal! She had homemade organic brown rice cereal, which is not as yucky as it sounds (I tried it). Yes, we are making her baby food at home, and we're very excited about feeding her organic, whole grain, all-around good stuff! We're using this great baby food book as our guide. Rice cereal will be her meal every morning, and then next week we'll add a fruit or vegetable serving in the afternoon. Her first meal went pretty well, she smiled! She had lots of fun banging on the tray, too. Although I prepared a full serving (1/2 cup), I think she really only ate about a teaspoon of the cereal before she signaled that she was finished. We'll try again tomorrow!
