Big day over here yesterday. Allie got to try her first solid food! We skip the rice cereal at 4 months and just wait until 5 months to do the baby oatmeal. (We learned our lesson about the binding nature of the rice with Robbie.)
Allie did great and seemed to enjoy getting to eat off a spoon for a change! Of course, the tongue thrust reflex forces most of the food right back out of her mouth again anyway, but she managed to eat her entire first serving. Ron did a great job of the spoon swipe to get the food off her chin, and Robbie quipped that it looked like Daddy was shaving Allie's face! I had to include a little video of her experience below.
Then, last night, we took the kids into town for the annual Christmas Walk. Nothing like standing outside watching Santa arrive on a rooftop and parading down the street after the high school marching band to make you love living in a small town. It's all very Rockwellian with kids atop shoulders and carols being sung on the church lawn. I love that night in this town!
