"Solid" is really a misleading description. "Mushy" would be more accurate. But she's doing great at it! We started about a week ago with Rice cereal, which looks like mashed potato flakes. You add breast milk to it, so it's not a whole lot different than just milk. And not toooo messy. And she likes eating it. And wants to hold the spoon herself. Carrots, on the other hand (actually, on all the hands, baby's and parents'), are way messy. Look at the orange explosion! And this is with two parents helping with the feeding. Now imagine me alone trying to feed her this stuff. I usually use two spoons, so that she can hold onto one while I load up the second one, and we just keep trading. Otherwise, she'll hold the one spoon for about 5 minutes before I can get it back. She doesn't understand that I have to reload it, that it doesn't keep giving like the bottle. But it's so entertaining feeding her. She makes these big smacking noises, it's so cute.
