After surviving on the first two for more than 5 months, Suhaana finally started on the third: solids.
It's been two weeks, that we finally started her on rice cereal. I had heard so much about "expect tongue thrust for two weeks", where babies reject whatever is pushed in their mouth, that I was quite surprised when she seemed quite accepting right off the bat.
The other day, while feeding the little girl, she seemed to be so very excited about eating her once-a-day rice cereal meal, that I was amazed. And also all appreciative about her eating habits. It seemed like she couldn't wait to get next bite into her mouth. She was actually getting annoyed if the spoon was pulled out of the mouth. And while I was all appreciative, to my dismay, I realized very quickly, her excitement was in fact for the spoon.
I'd gotten rubber tipped spoons for her, and she was dying to chew on them. She couldn't care much about what the spoon came laden with. It was the spoon she wanted!
