He Eats!!

We were trying to hold out on feeding Mason anything but breast milk until 6 months.  However, he has started showing signs of being VERY interested in/ready for eating, so we decided 5 months was close enough.  Mason has great control of his head.  He started grabbing objects & bringing them toward his mouth.  He also started watching us eat & opening his mouth.  Due to the recent recalls and warnings about arsenic in rice products, we decided to go with a single grain, organic oatmeal as the first "solid."  We mixed 1 tablespoon of oatmeal with about an ounce of breast milk & voila, Mason's first big boy meal :o)  He did quite well with it.  He didn't spit too much back out at me & didn't spit up afterwards, so we're calling it a success!!

Our little baby is growing up!!
