Cheerios & Cheese

Last night was Kayla’s first experience with both cheerios and cheese. Since the doctor said it would be good for her to start learning to eat finger foods, I went ahead and gave her some plain cheerios & some colby jack cheese cut up into really small pieces. At first she would pick the pieces up & play with them. After a few rounds of this, I showed her how to pick them up and put them in her mouth. She did this a few times and looked really confused when the food was in her mouth. She didn’t really know what to do with it so she just pushed it out of her mouth with her tongue. It was hilarious! I just kept trying and eventually she let it sit in her mouth for awhile until it was mushy enough for her to go ahead and swallow. Not bad for her first time!
