My friend Jen, who had her son on the same day as you were born, was telling me back in December that she was giving her son solids. I read that you can start solids on a baby as early as 4 months, but you have to watch for clues to see if they are truly ready- i.e., if the baby is constantly hungry, if the baby has head control and if the baby loses the "extrusion reflex." I guess I could have started you on solids earlier, but I didn't think you were ready. Plus, Aidan didn't start on solids until mid January. I decided that I would start giving you your first solids after the new year. I don't know why, but every time you (and even Aidan) reaches a milestone I feel sad. It's like I'm losing my baby and you are growing up… Is that weird?
Anyways, I took a video of you eating your first solids- rice cereal and you can see your reaction here. Enjoy!
