Yup, Hannah turned 6 months old last Friday, and as such it's time to begin expanding th'littlun's culinary horizons. We began with bananas. I took a small chunk of b'nana- unimaginably minuscule - mooshed it up and put a barely perceptible amount of pulverized mash on her tiny spoon. It was too much. But Daddy's a quick learner. We resized the dose and tried again. The first bite was a success. The second bite became a fashion accessory, and the third bite became a game. In the end I had to use 2 spoons so that she could play with one while I tried to feed her with the other.

| The prize! Hannah meets spoon, her newest friend. |
Next we tried reconstituted rice cereal. MMMMmmmm gooood! Here's how it went.

| "More Bananas?" |

| "Oh. Rice cereal." |
I once heard of a French doctor who told a new mother that the first solid food should be Roquefort cheese, "to develop the palette." Perhaps we'll try that next.
