This afternoon we attempted to let Riley try solid food for the first time. You'll notice that I specifically used the word "attempted" as we were not very successful in our efforts on the first time around.
Riley went shopping with us and told us that he (Daddy) wanted the organic kind. Not sure how much of a difference there is with rice cereal but that's the kind we started with. At the rate he is eating it, the box may last us till he goes to college.
Riley liked the spoon but thats as far as the exercise went. We kept trying to encourage him to try to eat the food but all he wanted to do was drool it back out, spit it back out and just let it fall back out. I don't think he swallowed any of it at all.
We will keep up with the feedings and hopefully he starts to understand what to do soon. Until then, we will just keep having fun making a mess of the baby!

Good choice of bibs! Riley, ask for ice cream next - much tastier and closer to milk that you know and love!
I agree, I think Ice Cream would go much better. I remember your (Erin's) first sweet was your birthday cake at 1 year old. Stacey's first sweet was at 1 month old; the piece of candy Erin fed to her. Oh the difference that birth order plays!
Don't worry, eating is an acquired skill that some of us master better than others. Riley will get the hang of it, its a new sensation (and I imagine that organic rice cereal isn't that tasty either!)
How many kids do you know in high school that were exclusively breast feeding in high school? (No jokes here please!)
