Well, people say that you should start feeding a baby solid foods when they start showing interest in your food by following it with their eyes and getting excited when they watch you eat. Well, it that is the case, Preston would have been eating solid foods from day 1 - he has always been completely mesmerized by our food. This last week, Preston has been waking up a lot more at night, so we thought that maybe he is growing and needs a little extra food, so we gave Preston his first taste of solid food this week. I guess food is more like eye candy for Preston than stomach food because when it hit his lips, it came right out! I don't think one drop of that rice cereal made it down the tube. You would have thought we were feeding him rotten lemons! He was puckering and gagging and didn't want anything to do with it. Even though the actual eating part ended up being a complete failure, the experience ended up being a real treat...right after the attempt, we got our first giggles and right out belly laugh from Preston. It was the best sound ever. I wish I could hear that every day all day. The sound of a baby laughing...oh sweet music! Of course we tried to record it, but no...sorry. We will continue to try!
