Elden is now 5 1/2 months old and has really started showing an interest in food - watching us putting it into our mouths, opening his mouth for spoons, chewing on paper...
I pulled out the rice cereal yesterday and he easily mastered the swallowing of something other than milk. I thought he would be sputtering and spitting food all over the place for a week. Guess not. We tried a bit liquidy rice cereal with homemade applesauce today and he really enjoyed it.
Guess I will have to pull out the blender, the ice cubes trays, carrots, peas, squash, apples, pears, etc and wait for the stinky diapers to begin. Suppposedly breastfed babies do not have stinky poops until they start solids...I beg to differ because some of Elden's farts and diapers have been pretty ripe, but we will soon see.
