We've been wanting to feed Gracelyn solid food for awhile now. However, we felt it would be best to wait until her surgery was over. She wasn't making a fuss when we were eating and it just didn't seem fair to give it to her just to take it away. (Besides, the box of rice said to wait until six months for allergy reasons, so really she was only 3 days late. :) ) Last weekend (19th) while we were camping we decided to give it a try. Jeff had promised Mr. C that he could be the one to introduce her to "real" food. He was excited. Since everything at our house is boy we went an bought her a new princess bowl and spoon. We got it ready and she went to town. She takes her aspirin every morning by spoon, so eating with it was nothing new. She did great. So did Mr. C. She loved it and got upset when it wasn't coming fast enough. Finally it cooled down and she stopped eating it. She would spit it back out and cry. Once I figured it out, we warmed it up and I fed her the rest. She finished it all. MMM...mush!
Where to even start

We have that same kind of chair, except it's green. And you give Gracelyn her aspirin in a spoon? Do you just crush it up and put some baby food on it or what? Cuz we've always put it in Kaleb's bottle but lately he's not finishing his whole bottle so I feel like he's not getting all the aspirin. And he's on some antacid medications also and those go in the bottle too. You'd think I'd have this down pat with having to give him meds for 8 months, obviously I'm missing something! ha haha
