First food...

Zoe is 6 months old today, and we have officially "started" solid food. She has seemed very interested in our food for a few weeks now, and so we anticipated that she would be excited to finally be sharing meals with us. Boy were we wrong! Here's the replay... Yum, yum, Zoe...yams! Open wide...

Yuck - that was horrible! What are you trying to do to me, Dad?

So she gagged and spit it right back out at us. Dr. Chipperfield (our pediatrician) says to try again in a couple of weeks - some 6 month old babies aren't ready for solids yet, and there's no need to rush. She has many years of eating solids ahead of her, and when she's ready she'll be more open to at least tasting what we put in her mouth before it comes back out!
