Solid Foods...Ready Or Not

We have officially embarked on a new phase of parenthood...solid foods!  For the last 3 weeks or so Evelyn has been overly interested in food.  It started simply enough with watching the spoon as it traveled from bowl to mouth and back, then progressed from there.  If you gave her a taste of anything and didn't continue offering, she would throw a major fit, which usually involved screaming and crocodile tears.  The day before we started solids Jesse put her close to my bowl of soup.  She seemed to think she was going to get something, although nothing was offered, and threw the fit of her life.  It ended with Jesse and Evelyn leaving the room until I finished my dinner. So on Thursday the 10th she "ate" her first tablespoon of rice cereal. YUM!

This is the first bite...

...about half way...

...and here's the end! She did some serious damage; check out the clump of cereal on the floor!

Here is our shiny clean Evie after some serious clean up.
