Phoebe ate her first "solid" food yesterday (November 13th). I hadn't planned on giving her any solids until 6-8 months, but she was definitively showing signs of hunger, even after she had tapped me out.

After two nights of this and a diminishing supply of breast milk in the freezer (I haven't had time to pump since September - on account of her demanding feed schedule), I surrendered to the Gerber Organic brown rice cereal.

I'm pretty confident that she wore more than she consumed, but if nothing else, it was entertaining to watch her open her mouth in anticipation of the green spoon with the smallest amount of cereal on it.
