Lucy had her first meal 2 weeks ago, but I'm just now getting to post about it. I made the rice cereal from scratch, got her strapped into her bouncer (we didn't have a highchair yet), put a bib on a her and then went for it! She was receptive to the whole idea of eating and would open her mouth WIDE for the spoon. But once the food got in her mouth, it was a different story. She screwed up her face and gave me this look like "what are you doing to me?". Then she pushed probably half of the food back out of her mouth.
Since then she's been eating about an ounce of rice cereal almost every day. She seems to be getting the hang of it more and more each time. We went and got her a highchair and she seems to enjoy that. It has an activity center built into the tray so it gives her something to do while I get the food ready.
I'm not sure what food I'm going to do next, but my goal is to make all of her food myself. I got a book from Brian about how to make and freeze baby food and it has some awesome ideas and recipes. It's called Cooking for Baby and I highly recommend it!
