It was a big event, with brother and sister looking on in excitement, Daddy primed with the camera, and Mommy with the spoon ready to feed. Yesterday we took a big step forward in Samuel becoming a big boy... He started solid food. Ok, not solid, actually it's way closer to the consistency of the milk he's been drinking for 5 months than solid. But anyway, he had his first little bit of rice cereal. He took it like a champ too. He had a little hard time at first, but he would open his mouth each time that the spoon was brought to his lips. More than I can say for his brother or sister. In this picture he is looking a bit unsure, but he did great with this new adventure in his tiny life. I can't believe he's getting so big!
