It's been a landmark day for us, here in the Harper household - Kate got the opportunity to try out some "solid" food! First of all there really is nothing "solid" about it, but at least it was something other than milk! We are so excited to be doing something other than milk in this house. Despite the fact that baby food comes with its own complexities and messiness, at least is also comes with some variety! So we mashed up a banana and gave it a whirl, and boy did Kate love it. Although it probably was more entertaining for Jeff and I than it was for Kate.
So, here is a video with the highlights of the event. We started out using a sort of "baby feeder" tool that is basically a cloth mesh container where you insert some mushed up food and then the baby sucks out the food. You'll see how successful that was! Then we just did the traditional spoon-in mouth technique which worked well.
Enjoy the clip!

Wow, she did awesome with her first food! None of my kids ever seemed happy eating the first few times. Always gagging and acting like I was stuffing rotten cheese in their mouth.
I'm very impressed!
And the mesh bag thing...I love the concept (did you know the guy who invented it did so because his son almost choked on some food...parents are always full of great ideas), but I never used them very much. Kinda a pain to clean and the kind I have always seem too heavy for a baby to hold on their own. Yours looked lighter though....maybe I'll shop around.
Great job Kate!! Welcome to the world of solid food!
