Sofia doesn't like cereal, I tried letting her feed herself some baby rice with milk, she had a taste and then clamped her mouth shut and wouldn't open it as long as the spoon was near her. I tried porridge with a similar result, so I decided to try making 'porridge pancakes' with some apple puree mixed in to sweeten them, unfortunately I think I added too much milk or maybe didn't make them thick enough as they fell apart way too easily. I don't think she was that keen though, she had two mouth fulls and then lost interest, I might try making them with less milk and with blueberries instead of apple puree, not holding out much hope though.
Since she's getting better with slippery things, I offered banana again and some papaya, both went down very well, she ate quite a bit and had her first solid poo today :-/ I don't think I'll give her banana's too often!
She also swiped my pitta bread this morning and loved it, it made her gag quite a bit though and I had to give her a couple of sips of water to help her swallow the dry bits that were stuck in her mouth, it might be easier for her to manage with something else, like a sauce or mashed avocado or something like that.
I want to try her with some egg, but she had a little rash on her face today and though I think it was just from the papaya juice I want to wait and make sure that it's not a reaction to something.
I also wanted to mention, Sofia is very close to saying her first word, she makes sounds like meh, moo, ba-ba-ba, ma and da, her favourite sound seems to be ba-ba and she says it constantly, unfotunately we've not had a mama or dad yet, although we had a 'ba-ma' this morning. Dan reckons she was trying to say Obama :)
