The day has finally come! At just about 5 months, Kirk had his first taste of solid food yesterday when Rose made him some oatmeal. The day before she had given him a little lick of her own oatmeal at breakfast, when he seemed very interested but kept grabbing at her spoon. So she ground up some rolled oats into a powder and cooked it up and let him try to feed himself with a baby spoon that I just happened to have handy. I've been waiting for this day! He had a bit of trouble finding his mouth and choked a tiny bit once he managed to find it, but it is just the beginning. And he seemed very happy to start the down the path leading to the pleasures of the table. Welcome aboard, Baby Kirk!
