another milestone
We had a little dinner party this evening in honor of Harvey getting his first taste of real food. Well, relatively real anyways: does room temperature rice-cereal-and-breast-milk gruel count? Don't worry, that's not what we served to the other guests. In any case, regardless of the palatability of his dinner to anyone over the age of eight months Harvey took to it with delight. We didn't see a single one of the confused disgusted faces we were led to expect would be normal for a baby getting his first "solid" food, and when Harvey got his hands on the magic spoon that the food came from he held onto it for dear life. Perhaps ten percent of the gruel even made it down his throat!
Pictures and/or video later, natch, if any of it comes out any good.
