Katie's first foods

Katie got her first taste of food on March 9th, a day or two shy of 5 and a half months old. 

 She started with plain rice cereal and didn't really care too much either way. Now, nearly 3 weeks later we've introduced carrots, squash, green beans and prunes. She is eating just teeny tiny portions and still doesn't care much, and I've completely skipped a handful of days. What she loves is to nurse. She has been an excellent nurser from minute one. She has taken a bottle less than a dozen times but, completely balks at formula. She's a mama's girl, and a pampered princess.

I hear mothers talk about their babies who are so interested in food and seem to gulp it down and then open their mouths wide in anticipation of the next bite but, that is definitely not how any of my kids have been. When it comes to the first foods, each of my babies could take it or leave it.
