Today we had Mia's 6 month doctor appointment. She is 15lbs, 26inches, and still has her Mom/Nana/Gigi's peanut head :) During the appointment Dr. Sarah said that Mia could try table foods and to start her on rice cereal. For the first 6 months of her life Mia has been exclusively breastfed so this was an exciting step for Dad to try. Well unfortunately it was a flop! Mia isn't a fan of anything on a spoon. She opens her mouth, pulls her tongue back, and keeps the food in the front of her mouth. No swallowing, no pushing it back out, just lets it stay there. Eventually it falls back out. We tried this a couple more times over the next week. She wont even take breast milk with a spoon. So to answer the question.... Will Mia ever eat table food? Sure she will, but not yet! This little girl is telling us she's not ready. We are going to give it a week and try again. Maybe next week?
