What a momentus occasion! Lawson had his first taste of solid food tonight. We got him set up in his new highchair and got out the baby bowls and spoons (and camera) and sat down to have him try to eat some rice cereal. It was really runny, so the transition wouldn't be too hard for him, but there were still some small lumps to give him the new experience of texture.

He didn't seem to like the taste - boy he made some strange faces! But, he seemed to like the process. He didn't thrust it back out with his tongue (babies often do), and he kept opening his mouth up in anticipation of the spoon. He's been watching me like a hawk when I eat, so I knew he was ready for food. This is a huge milestone - my baby is growing up....
