Cereal and spoonfeeding elicits mixed results

Yesterday Athena had solid food for the first time – well, somewhat solid, since it was finely-ground rice cereal mixed with milk. She seemed to do okay with it, so we decided to go for broke today and attempt rice cereal with a spoon.

Almost, but not quite

She seems to have picked up on the whole spoon-goes-into-mouth part:

It looks like we've got the spoon-into-mouth concept down

But not the eating or swallowing concept:

Not so much.

She was trying pretty hard to figure the whole thing out

Intense concentration

Wrinkled nose does not bode well

I have a few more cute pictures in Flickr:

We also wanted to share photos of Athena wearing her denim ladybug dress, so Jeanie could see how cute she looks:

Particularly this photo, the look on her face is priceless:
