She's a natural.

Harper had her very first taste of solid food over the weekend. I finally gave in -- for some reason I have been putting it off. I'm sure part of it is that I'm not ready for her to be big enough for food yet. Or not wanting to deal with the added hassle and mess. And part of it is also me being worried that her tummy isn't ready since she was a preemie. Either way, I've been in denial because for the last several weeks she has been seriously eyeing everything anybody eats around her. It took her waking up 1 or 2 times every night for 3 weeks straight wanting to eat for me to finally surrender. (Wow, typing that last sentence makes me sound like a terrible mom...I promise I'm not starving my baby. Ha!)

Anyhow, it's safe to say that she has definitely inherited the food-lovin' gene. After one bite she was grabbing the spoon and shoveling that cereal right in like a pro.

And I have no earthly idea where she gets it from.
