The past two weeks Anna has experienced a lot of firsts in her little life.
- first tooth
- first flight on an airplane
- first trip to the beach
- first time sitting up unassisted
Included among these "firsts" is the milestone of moving on to solid foods.
She loves her rice cereal and I'm always surprised by how much she will eat -- she just scarfs it down. We've also tried sweet potatoes (she loved those), and peaches which got a definite no vote from her. She eats her "solid" food twice a day and judging by the amount I'm spooning into her little mouth, and the fact that the rice cereal is pretty heavy (compared to breastmilk), I always figure that these feedings should tide her over for a long time. But no, she's hungry again within an hour and a half. I can't complain too much -- she's a great eater and always gives me her full cooperation.
