On to Solid Foods We Go!!!

The week between Christmas and New Years, Amelia had her first bites of solid food! She was constantly watching us as we ate, so she was ready to partake in the world of food. Amelia started with rice cereal and prunes. At first Amelia would kind of 'forget' how to eat and have to re-learn the concept each time. As time has progressed, she remembered more and more quickly. Due to her cold we took about a week off of solids, since she wasn't really showing any interest in eating. Since re-starting this past weekend, Amelia has continued to do great! She is such a little bird, opening her mouth up and she eats a lot for just starting. So far she has had rice cereal, prunes, apple sauce and carrots. She loves her prunes and apple sauce!
Amelia's first bite

She really wasn't sure what was going on.

Her expressions were hilarious! She also managed to clamp onto the spoon.

And continued to hold on....

I'm trying to get the spoon back now

The burst of flavor was more than her little mouth could handle

Really not sure about this

What is this party going on in my mouth?!

Here is a little video of her first eating experience
