Mio turned 25 weeks today, and we decided to give her an introduction to solids this weekend. It’s encouraged to feed babies solids at a time of day when they’re in the best mood, so we chose the late morning. For Mio’s first taste of solids, we mixed some of Earth’s Best organic whole grain rice cereal with breast milk. (Rice cereal can be constipating and doesn’t have as much nutritional value as vegetables, but we thought it was a good way to gently transition Mio into solids before we introduce her to the good stuff!)

She dribbled a lot of the rice cereal out of her mouth because it was her first time getting spoon-fed, but she readily accepted it and had a good amount of it! We captured it on video, below:

I’d say it was a success! So begins Mio’s journey into the world of foods… something tells me she’s going to love eating, just like her parents! 😉

On an unrelated note, here are some additional videos of Mio from the past month that I hadn’t gotten around to posting until now…

Mio and I goofing around together when she was 22 weeks. I love spending my mornings with her like this: I trade her my kisses for her sweet smiles and giggles. ♥ It never gets old.

Here she is at 24 weeks, smiling and bouncing in her jumper as we ask her to “Jump! Jump!”
