Luke eats Solid Food!

Late October018, originally uploaded by Chiara and James Hemsley.

I finally got my life organized enough to sit down with Luke and give him his first solid food. Norah was great at feeding him, too (though his expression in the photo seems to say, "Help me!").

The baby food book that I use told me how I could tell if my child was ready for solids:
Does the child take great interest in watching you eat and drink? Yes.
Does the child make chewing motions when he/she is watching you eat? Yes.
Do you feel guilty eating around your child? Yes.

I guess we were ready! He did great. I forgot to put a bib on him so it was a bit of a mess.
