She promptly began gagging and carrying on(SUCH a dramatic girl!)....
After she felt she had sufficiently spit it all back out it was back to finger painting. So, we shall wait another couple weeks... or longer. :) I'm perfectly content keeping my boobie monster all to my self and she's happy with that too.
If you're horrified that we didn't begin shoveling cereal in her mouth promptly at 4 months, please do read more about baby-led weaning and the benefits of delaying solids. Contrary to popular belief, breastfed babies don't need to start solids until they are a year. It's actually MUCH better for them if you DO wait longer than the traditional 4-6 months.

heehee I had to giggle at the last paragraph! Nora is 8 1/2 months and is just starting to WANT to taste some things. She only gets a small bite here and there, not enough to change her diet.
We didn't start J on solids until about a month ago. She LOVES it and was definitely ready. But, I do agree that the longer you can wait the better. Makes me want to cry when I hear people starting food with their 2 mo. old or 4 mo. old babies...
I just love that age! It's my favorite! Courtney, I am north of Dayton, Ohio. No filled Ohio! :) Where are you?
I never can figure out how to email a reply to a comment - can anyone tell me??
Anywho... Jodi, we are in extreme southern MN. Bummer, 1/2 a day away isn't exactly local.
Hilarious!
