The First Supper...

Rhea had her first solid food on Father's Day (an appropriate father's day gift for a guy like Bert)...it felt strange to actually encourage her to put something in her mouth because lately I seem to spend the majority of my time trying to keep her from eating things (such as paper...mail...random things on the floor...Stashu) She approached the whole affair her usual discerning self. Despite my continuously asking her "what do you think" (as can be heard on the audio), she held back her decision on whether or not she was enjoying her food until she'd had ample time to experience each slight nuance of this new sensation. She seemed to move from very interested, to surprised, to skeptical, to very skeptical with an eventual backslide to slightly interested. And that was just the first bite! In the end we just gave her the spoon with some avocado on it and let her tackle it at her own pace.

Of COURSE it's organic (and she knows because she trusts her Mama and Papa to only give her the best)! Also full of very good nutrients...and delicious :) She liked it even better today!
