Raelynn’s First Solid Food

A week shy of 5 months and still no solids?  Yep you are right, we decided to wait as long as possible to give Raelynn solids. Breastfed babies really don’t need solids until 6 months as long as they are on track with their weight gain.  This is a totally different approach than we took with Lilly, on her 4 month birthday we gave her rice cereal.   Last week I got a wild hair and thought Raelynn may be ready for solids, she watches and looks longingly at us when we eat anything near her.  Either she is not ready or she really doesn’t like baby oatmeal, totally opposite from Lilly she loved oatmeal and could eat it by the truck load if you let her. 

Here are a few pictures and a video that I took of the oh so MESSY adventure.

I don’t think any oatmeal made it to her tummy, most of it is caked in her neck

OMGosh! That is just to freakin funny! Apaw is cutting loose with some deep belly laughs watching this. She doesn't seem to be enjoying her first meal very much! Let me know the date of this for her scrap book.
