Broccoli

You have been telling us you want to have some food lately. Reaching for it, and trying to get it. We didn't want to start too soon, because your little tummy might not be ready, but we decided to just start slow, just tastes at a time.

Last night you sucked on a bit of cantaloup. Tonight we offered you some steamed broccoli. I put it in your hand and held it up for you to see while I took a bite of mine, you opened your mouth. I helped you find your mouth and you took over from there. You sucked on that broccoli for all of dinner. You dropped it a few times, so Mommy helped you get ahold of it again, but you knew what you were doing.

After you took a break to nurse, I put a piece of broccoli on the table in front of us, you reached out, grabbed it and put it in your mouth.

You probably didn't swallow but a few tiny bits, but you are learning and experiencing tastes, thats all that food is for for now. You really seemed to like that broccoli though!
