Ariella's first "real" solid food

Ariella has done great with purees and mashed up foods (avocado and banana), but I had been hesitant to get her something like puffs because it shows those are for crawlers on the package, and she's not crawling yet.

Well, a day or so ago, I was eating Kashi Lean cereal for dinner. Ariella was EXTREMELY interested! I asked Tyree if he thought it would be ok if I gave her a piece of my cereal. He said, sure! (Although, I'm not really sure why I asked him, since he doesn't really have any knowledge of baby food - lol).

I picked out 1 little puff of the cereal and sort of sucked the milk off of it (since I heard no cow's milk until 1 year old). And, then I put it in her mouth. I expected her to spit it right out, but instead, she started gumming it! (She has no teeth yet.) It was quite exciting. I kept expecting her to choke on it or something, but she did great! I'm going to have to get some of those puffs next weekend. I think she's ready for some finger foods!
