Noah started eating solids this week!!! YAY!! I'm really bad at following the rules and starting with JUST rice cereal. Mainly because none of my kids have really gone for it, but also because it's just so fun to feed them something yummy :)
I started him off with the rice cereal yesterday, he wasn't too thrilled about it. Which actually says a LOT because for the last week or so he has been TOTALLY interested in ANYthing I put in my mouth. If I'm holding him at the table he is reaching and grabbing for my fork every chance he gets. He's been ready to start for a while now. But the rice cereal just wasn't his thing. Then I tried mixing in some pears for a little flavor, but still nothing. So I was about to give up.
Today though, I tried just the plain pears (don't tell my pediatrician), and he LOVED it!! (of course :)) I did mix in a little bit of the peas, just enough that he couldn't taste them, and he was just going nuts!!
He really couldn't get enough!
Luke sat there asking for bites the whole time, so of course being the softy that I am, I let him have a few :) He says to me, "I wike dat baby food. Noah food yummy!" (I can't wait to surprise him with something that's not quite as "yummy" that will be fun :))
I was bummed to not have Nate here to enjoy the "first" but Kelly and Charity both made excellent photographers, as always, filling in for Daddy :).
He kept grabbing the spoon or my hand and like jamming it into his mouth!! I thought he was going to hurt himself. Or fall over.
And here he is eating the jar!
I just love these moments!! He's getting older. It's hard to believe that he's already old enough to be sitting up and eating from a spoon!! He's my baby!!
But how fun too. It's so funny to me that I still get all excited about these things when this is our fifth time to do this. And it's also funny to me that it feels so awkward and foreign to me when I've done this FOUR TIMES ALREADY! :) It's all good :)
I wish we had more pictures of him from the front :) He's so adorable...
How fun :) Thanks for letting me share these

Every milestone seems that way to me too. Sad to see them grow, but so fun to watch them experience new things. I wish they could stay little forever though, especially now that I've seen what they turn into later. :) kidding of course...well, a little. :)
Oh my heck he is growing up! I love his little face! That's awesome that you still love every little thing so much... I do too but I'm only on my second time around. You are such a good mom!
Noah is soooo cute! I'm glad you decided to bite the bullet and start the solid foods...it was worth it for the pictures alone.
Now, let me see, where did I put your pediatrician's number???
I am so telling on you... then again I'd have to tattle on me too. What do ya do when they want the good stuff. I love that I'm not the only person who gets crazy happy about all their firsts no matter what kid, I just wish I took more pics like you do!! What a cute kid
very cute. i was slow to start jack on cereal, too. i couldn't quite remember how to fix it [which makes me feel completely retarded now that i'm fixing it again] and was too lazy to bring the box upstairs from our food storage. are they not supposed to have straight food yet? oh well.
ps. jack has the same onesie. isn't target great?
