At dinner Friday night, I told my mother that I would start feeding Mina solids when she began leaning in for my food. That is a good sign they are ready. (so I have read)
WELL, that night after dinner Mina leaned in toward a fortune cookie- however, I think she was looking closely at the printing on the wrapper.
Yesterday, I was enjoying a donut (mmmmm) and set it down, half eaten to turn my attention to some milk. Mina leaned straight toward it and opened her mouth... LIKE SHE WAS GOING TO EAT IT.
This surprised me A LOT. I am uncertain if this was simply because it smelled sweet, but I plan to watch her and see if she does it again. We have her 4 month checkup soon and I am guessing the doc will say it is "ok" to start rice cereal.
I honestly figured she would not be ready for this kind of thing until later- but hell, she has been progressing so quickly otherwise that I should not be surprised at all.
However, I can't wait to start "real" food. I think it is going to be a lot of fun.
