Zoe's first solid meal!

Since Zoe is now 5 months and we got clearance from her doctor, we decided to start experimenting with solid food.  I was really excited for this since I know how much my little munchkin is going to love food (like her daddy!). I went to Babies R Us and bought the necessary tools -- i.e. plastic microwave friendly bowls, soft spoons and I even got a make-your-own-baby food set for when I eventually start "cooking" for her.

We decided to start her off with the basic bland rice cereal.  Zoe's reaction to her first bite?  It was more like, "What the? I KNOW there's supposed to be more flavor than this!!!"  Let's just say she wasn't really digging the taste (or lack thereof) ... however, she did great with the whole "eating" thing.  She knew to open her mouth when the spoon got close to her mouth and she even did a chewing thing (not that she needed to chew).  It seems she has the whole "eating" concept down ... I plan to introduce her to better tasting food very soon so she'll actually enjoy her meals =).

Here's a video of her solid-meal-eating milestone:
