So here goes . . . in August, Brandon visited and got to participate in Abby's first solid food feeding. HILARIOUS! She was so excited to try something new and was grabbing for the spoon and putting it in her own mouth. (She is definitely our daughter -- she gets WAY excited about food :).
The only way she could figure out how to suck the runny oatmeal down was by sucking on fingers in between bites.
Brandon did the video taping for us, thank goodness! It took both hands for me to feed her and keep her up right in her chair while Jim danced around us taking a million and a half pictures (he did a pretty good job!), so we definitely needed a third person to capture the moment. It was awesome to have "Big Brother Brandon" there to share in the milestone! Even though she won't remember, it meant a lot to us to have him there.
She made a royal mess of the oatmeal, getting more of it on herself, the chair, and me than actually in her mouth. You can see from her red eyes below that she was steadily losing patience, and although it was fun and new, was NOT filling her empty belly!
By the end, Abby had lost all her patience and was too hungry to mess around (literally) with oatmeal anymore. She thought food was seriously stupid. LOL.
And there it is! Abby's first solid food experience. Funny!
