Spoon!

Parker ate his first solid foods today! We picked up a high-chair recently, so he was hanging out in the kitchen being all cute, and we decided it would be cool to see if he'd eat solids or not. April picked up some rice cereal at the grocery store and it was a huge success. April was saying that a lot of books and forums say babies don't like to eat solids at first, but Parker took to it right away. He didn't even make much of a mess, which was a nice by-product of his successful grown-up-style eating. It was kind of funny, though, after the first few spoonfuls because he seemed to get impatient when April would have to reload for more. I guess that's a sign that he liked what he was eating! Personally, I thought it looked like the bowls of single celled proteins combined with synthetic aminos, vitamins, and minerals in The Matrix, but maybe to Parker it tasted like Tasty Wheat. Oh, he also ate a little biscuit thing called a "Mum mum". Anyways, here are the photos, complete with baby-thought captions:

"I love Nikon cameras! And also solid foods."

"This is.......different."

"I'm trying to eat and you're all up in my business!"

"I could get used to this spoon thing."

"Eating is good."
