First 'real' food - Oct 19th

We gave Tristyn rice cereal for the first time last week. She had about the same reaction that Mason did--she spit it all out! I was able to keep a little bit in, but she wasn't quite sure what to think of the whole thing.
She had such a messy face (I'm sure I had wiped it off several times before I took the photo).
My pediatrition said that a baby is ready to start solids when she'll watch you eating and act interested in what you're doing. Well, Tristyn has been watching me and practically reaching for the fork for several weeks. It's funny that she changed her mind as soon as I actually put food in her mouth! You can see that she put her hands in her mouth so I wouldn't be able to get anything else in!
In comparison, here are a couple of photos of Mason's first try at cereal (he still has the same expression when I try to give him real food!). He was about 4 1/2 months also. I still wish Tristyn had his long hair!
I can't believe this little guy is turning 3 this week!

Hey Steph! She is such a little beauty! I love both their baby pictures. It's always amazing to see babies grow and develop... it always happens too fast.
PS.... You guys Halloween costumes are HILARIOUS! The kids look so cute.
