Family Life

Today Micah started on solids. Mind you, the word “solids” is relative. These are the runniest solids I’ve ever seen. If you or I had this diet, they’d say we were on liquids. But it’s a memorable occasion for a small baby, as he graduates from being exclusively breast-fed to venture into the wonderful world of cooking.

He gobbled down his first bowl as fast as Debbie could feed it to him. He’ll have a few days on rice cereal (disgusting, bland stuff) before we try him on a fruit (actually quite nice) or a veggie (really quite horrible). The idea is to introduce new foods one at a time and feed him just that one thing for a few days, to see if he has an unfavourable reaction. Debbie has been stockpiling baby food for months. There are rows and rows of jars in the pantry, ready for many weeks of experimenting on baby.
