Starting Solids

On his 5th month birthday, I introduced Yuuki to solids! It seems that in the States babies start off with baby rice cereal since rice is least likely to trigger allergic reaction. It is the same here in Japan, but we make soft porridge out of rice, not cereal.

Yuuki is not very good at swallowing yet, but he seems to love to eat. He opens his mouth like a goldfish when he sees other people eating, it is so cute : ) Yuuki already wants to eat on his own, and he takes the spoon away from me and puts it in his own mouth....this is going to get messy....!

Yuuki's first bite...."hmmm"
