At Luke's 4-month appointment we asked about the timing to start feeding him solids... Our doctor told us that for 30 years, she has told people to "hold-off" - mostly due to food allergies, but new research doesn't necessarily back this up. So she told us we could start feeding him some rice/formula mixtures (even oats and other grains.) http://www.babycenter.com/0_baby-food-revolution-new-rules-for-feeding-your-baby_10320504.bc
So we gave it a try last night. I was amazed because his tongue actually seemed to be working "with" him (instead of against him like we somewhat expected!) And he ate up his rice mixture in no time! Well... his little fingers interfered a bit and the messy mixture got all over (Paper Mache project anyone?!) But all-in-all, we were pleasantly surprised by his intake.
He is such a sweet little baby... what I love about these pictures are his hands. :-)
