At Athena’s last check up, her pediatrician told us that she is ready to begin solid foods. We started feeding Athena rice cereal last Sunday. She first started playing with the cereal moving it back and fourth in her mouth then spitting it out.  Slowly she became used to the texture and  enjoyed the rice quite a bit.

Today we decided to give her first taste of solid food in the form of a butter but squash purée by Gerber. It was a success.
