This past weekend, Calvin had his first "solid" food! At his 4-month appointment, his doctor declared him ready (though I was thinking to wait until he was 6 months).
So we got some baby oatmeal (which, oddly, resembles instant mashed potato flakes), and on Saturday he got his first taste. It was a big hit! After the first spoonful, he seemed to have no problem understanding the mechanics of eating from a spoon, and he definitely seemed to enjoy it.
It was so adorable watching him open his mouth in anticipation of each bite. He looked so tiny in his high chair, but I know in no time, it'll fit him much better.
He's since also had some banana, which he also loved. I never knew what an awesome adventure eating could be! Oh wait - yes I did. haha But seriously, watching him experience these new tastes for the first time has been unforgettably wonderful. And I can't wait for so many more to come!
Cal~you are tooooooooooo cute!
