In effort to help Vaughn gain weight, we introduced solids today. We know he probably won't be eating much of the cereal these first few days as he gets used to the idea of a spoon, but we thought it was best to start now. If he were a healthy weight (or was gaining like he should be), we would definitely wait until he was six months old.
He did a great job by allowing me to give him at least ten spoonfuls of extremely runny cereal. It didn't seem like he was trying to reject it at all. Instead, he was kind of licking it up like he wanted more. When he got sick of sitting in his Bumbo chair, he started to fuss. I then put him on my lap when he grabbed the cereal bowl. So the end result of his first day of solids was the two of us, the chair and table covered in cereal...a precursor of what is to come with more adventures with eating solids.
