Let the Games Begin

This was a big weekend for us -- Avery started eating food. We started her off with rice cereal, which is what is generally recommended these days. She loved it. After trying to blow bubbles in her first couple bites, she quickly caught on and swallowed the mushy stuff down with a smile. Already asserting her independence, she insisted on "helping" and holding her own spoon. (Wonder where she got that from?) Since she's already six months old and has the swallowing thing down, we'll probably move on to new things as soon as next week. Like carrots. Or squash! What did we ever do with our Saturday nights before we got so excited over vegetables?

Here's a video of some of the fun.
