A taste test

For the past week or so Annalise has looked really interested in the food we are eating. I thought it was kind of early but then I realized that I started feeding Jeremiah rice cereal at four months so maybe Anna was ready. The other night at dinner Annalise started making this disgruntled noise, and pouting her lips. It was really cute and pathetic. So Brian and I thought lets try to give her some rice cereal. Well Annalise is interested in food to say the least. I put one spoonful in her mouth and she started to smile really big and coo, but her tongue doesnt have eating figured out yet. Here are some pictures to show what I mean...
Annalise is getting ready to take her first bite.

"Okay I like this rice cereal but my tongue keeps getting in the way"

"Hey this is really good, can you see all the rice cereal on my face and on my tongue"

"Ha, ha mom will have to give me a good bath tonight"

Jeremiah was pretty interested in the whole feeding Annalise for the first time experience. He told me she was hungry. Then he decided he would only take bites of his chicken and broccoli when Anna took bites of her cereal. Look at the smirk he is giving the camera.

So last night Annalise had rice cereal for the second time. It started the same way. We were eating she was making disgruntled "my life is miserable noises" and pouty faces. As soon as she saw a little bowl and spoon she was happy. I guess she doesn't really care whether her tongue is ready as long as she can join in the family meal :).
