Lexi's been showing signs of wanting to eat solid food for a couple of weeks now. At dinner she sits in a highchair across from Elliot, and she enjoys watching him. Lately she's been making "Mmmm" noises while we eat, and acting frustrated that she wasn't part of the action.
I started Lexi on rice cereal last week, which she still seems to like. It is basically fortified rice flour that I mix with a little breast milk. It looks like paste, but she doesn't know any better. This morning she had bananas for the first time. Avocados will be next, if Elliot doesn't eat them all in the next couple of days. While she wasn't excited by the banana, she didn't reject it outright, so I think that's good.
