Five months and "eating"!

First off - Happy birthday Mom Mom!

Katie also had a "birthday" yesterday...5 months old! Unfortunately, we did not celebrate with cake, but had our first meal of rice cereal. It was the first time we used her new highchair and (so far) we love it and it looks great in our kitchen! It is the Graco Contempo chair in the Hemmingway pattern.
-3 position recline
-6 position height adjustment
-dishwasher safe tray
-easily folds in half for storage (collapses to only 8 inches wide!!!)

She did not quite understand why I was putting a rubber spoon into her mouth and she wasn't sure what to do with it. The first few tastes resulted in a sour-puss face, but eventually she discovered the big, plastic, pink bib and that was VERY amusing. We fed her Beechnut Rice cereal and prepared the recommended 1 TBSP mixed with her formula, in a bowl. You are probably thinking, just 1 TBSP? We thought the same thing...until it took us about 30 minutes of feeding to get through half of it. Once she understands to open her mouth and swallow, we will start with some veggies. I can't wait!

Awe! Solid food time! I gave up on highchairs a long time ago. I throw lola in her excercsaucer and she divebombs the spoon. HA!
