The first post

I was going to wait until Mia turns 6 months old next week for the first post on this blog but have decided to start early. In a similar vein I was going to wait until Mia is 6 months old to start giving her food but I started offering her things to eat about a week ago. I am following baby-led weaning which means forgetting baby purées and weaning spoons and simply letting your baby feed herself. It's certainly fun to watch!

Here are some photos of Mia's first tastes of proper food:
Sampling mango, not much of it stayed in her mouth!

Trying out a porridge pancake. She had lots of fun making a mess with it. Again I don't think much actually stayed in her mouth.

Having a chomp on a pear. A few days earlier she shared a pear with her Grandpa, but he didn't get to eat much of it because Mia was sucking on it so enthusiastically!

Oh and Happy Birthday Granny, bet Mia can't wait until she can start eating cake!
