Solid.

Zoey Wren has entered the world of spoons and bowls.

A couple of tablespoons of organic rice cereal mixed with some water were little Sweet Pea's first foray into fine cuisine. She loved it. Dribbles, drools and rasps sent a bit of the soupy concoction sliding down her oh-so-posh bib (do they make one in my size for the next time at at the Red Lobster?). But quantity swallowed was not the important thing today, rather, we were thrilled with Zoey's enthusiasm for the approaching spoon, and her instant swallowing skills. With a dad like me, who could doubt this girl would be a born eater?

For now Z will have a one-hit wonder menu: rice cereal. But over the coming weeks we'll be adding fruits, and then veggies, and eventually meats and other fun stuff. All that is for the future. For today, El and I are just sitting in wonder at another momentous first that our little sweet Pea has tackled with aplomb.
