First "Solids"

On January 8, shortly after he turned 5 months, we started Robby on baby food. (sorry, I know messy food faces gross some people out). His pediatrician suggested starting him on meats and vegetables rather than the cereals that people usually do. She said that they are starting to think maybe that will help kids not get too used to all the starches. Makes sense.  Anyway, his first food was chicken! He seemed to like it. Just needed a little practice figuring out exactly how to swallow it... but it didn't take long.
