Starting solids

Junior had his first taste of real food this week.  It's a little earlier than what the doc recommended, but he was showing all the signs that he was ready:  He sits calmly in his high chair and watches intently as mommy and daddy eat their meal.  He gets excited when mommy lets him have a little taste of her orange.  We can also see another tooth coming in next to his existing one.
His first solid feeding went pretty well.  We started after he had already had some breastmilk, so he wasn't too hungry.  It was a messy affair as expected, but he actually got most of the rice cereal into his belly.  He must have been satisfied, because he slept for 9 hours straight after his first real dinner.  By the second day, he was really savoring his meal.  He liked the taste of it so much, he started licking his bib wanting more.
