Starting solids

We've started Aurora on solids and it's so much fun! We tried rice cereal just after she turned 4 months and she had a very gassy night afterwards so we held off for 2 weeks just incase the 2 were related. When we gave her the rice cereal the 2nd time she loved it and it didn't seem to cause any tummy problems. Now she has rice cereal at least once a day (we'll be going to twice a day this week). She's very eager to get the spoon in her mouth that she leans very far forward in her Bumbo to get to the spoon. She also would like to feed herself but her coordination is not there. She's such a good eater and finishes all the cereal more times than not. We also introduced mashed potatoes this week and Baby Mum Mums and she loves both!!!! I think the appeal of the Baby Mum Mum is that fact that she can do it as she loves to hold things and to put things in her mouth. We're not too far away from starting other solids, like veggies, fruits, and meats. Can't wait!
