Milestone: Retta's First Solid Food!

Our little baby is growing up so fast! Retta tried her first taste of solid food last night. She's been continuing to spit up so much that the doctor suggested starting her on rice cereal to see if it helps hold her food down. I know it's not really that big of a deal, but since last summer when I first found out I was pregnant I have been the one to carry her, grow her, birth her, and all the growing she's done since she entered the world has been a result of the milk I've given her. So, to feed her something else, something external, felt like kind of a big letting go. I'm sure this seems dramatic, but then again, I'm sure most mothers reading this can relate! Here are some pictures of the little cutie. She really seemed to like it- this baby is not one to turn down nourishment of any kind, as evidenced by her adorable little thunder-thighs!
