Tasty

Rachel has now had her first bites of solid food. No, I didn't give her picante sauce! I have been waiting to use that picture for ages!

She gave the requisite squished up, confused face as I spooned rice cereal into her mouth, but now she opens her mouth like a baby bird. She has also had bites of pureed sweet potatoes and those, too, have passed muster.

This is always such an exciting time. It reminds me how quickly she is growing. The sleepers that fit her just a few weeks ago are now strained at the toes. Her belly laugh is deeper and richer. Her hair is growing a bit more. Her bright little eyes don't miss a thing. Who could get tired of this?
