Mia Ate Her First Semi-Solid Food Today!!!!


Current mood: amused

Today is a very special day for little Mia-girl! She has another huge milestone to mark down. She ate her very first Semi-solid food today!!!!! It was Gerber Baby Rice Cereal. We have been planning on feeding that to her for awhile, but with her whole constipation ordeal (which she still semi has) we have been putting it off and putting it off. Now she is semi regular (at least no more hard balls or nuggets! haha) so we decided today will be the day!

I set up her little seat on the chair (that her Grandpa and Grandma Pizano gave her for Xmas) and buckled her in. I mixed 2oz worth of cereal with some water. I grabbed the camera and Adrian and I took tons of pictures of her attempting to eat.

It didn't go to well. She got more on her bib that she did in her mouth. At one point she starts licking her bib! haha but she didn't like it very much. She wanted to chew the spoon rather than eat. When we would put a little on her tongue she would just push it out of her mouth or let it fall out. It was everywhere! to say the least. She wouldn't swallow it or eat it and just seemed to taste it then spit it out. Eventually we just stopped and gave her, her bottle. Then she was very happy. Adrian mentioned that maybe we should mix her formula with the cereal instead of water so she can associate food with that stuff too. Maybe the taste was too new to her and she didn't know what to do with it! haha

Anyways, its a big day for my little girl and I just had to write about it! I will be posting pics soon and her video!
