A couple of days ago we fed Evi her first non-formula food. I hesitate to call it solid food, because it was a pureed banana, mixed with a little bit of formula. It was pretty "liquidy"--gelatinous at best.
We put a video up on our flickr site.
She didn't really make a funny face or register much surprise when she tasted it. She did put out her hand like she wanted more. We'll have to see if she remains equally unfazed for things like mashed turnip, macerated quince with squash, or liquefied beets.
She also handled the spoon like a champ. She's been fascinated by us whenever we eat--staring at us with an intense, unblinking gaze--so I think she had a pretty solid idea of what a spoon was for. I think she enjoyed being at the table and eating at the same time as Mommy and Daddy. For dessert we gave her formula. Mmmmmm, formula.
After-dinner spit up was somewhat chunkier and more fragrant than usual, but nothing too gross.
We'll keep you posted on our other upcoming food adventures, especially if they yield amusing results.
Our adventure continues. This blog will serve to maintain connections with family and friends who are, like us, involved in the whirlwind of everyday life and are too busy to call and/or e-mail as often as we would like.
