as i stated in a previous letter, you didn't seem to enjoy your first foray into "solids." you made funny (but cute) little faces and couldn't quite figure out how to swallow the new food being inserted into your mouth. call us quitters, but we decided to hold off on the solid food for a while since the debut was kind of a disappointment...we were hoping you'd like this new type of food! in all reality, i wasn't disappointed because, like i said before, eating solids makes you seem so much older.
so, one week after the first attempt i decided to give it a go once more...and this time it was a success! you really seemed to enjoy your sweet potatoes. it was so cute watching you open your mouth when you were ready for a new spoonful. :) we are still getting the hang of this eating with a spoon thing, so in the meantime i have a feeling about half of the food will end up on your face, hands, bib, bumbo, etc... ;)
love,
mom
