Another Step on his Journey away from his Mommy...

I do promise that all of my posts will not be about Noah's many, many new milestones... as there will be MANY to come! However, tonight was the first time I fed him solid foods! Now, I know some people who read this will think, "What??? He is 6 months old... you haven't fed him yet??!" I allow that people can disagree with me but none of my kids ate any solid food until they were 6 months old! I knew that IF they day came where they were showing signs of being hungry (such as waking up in the middle of the night, etc...) I WOULD feed them. None of mine ever did that! They all nursed every 3 hours during the day and slept through the night from the time they were a few weeks old... Very blessed, I know! Partly though, that came from alot of hard work and planning on this Mama's part!!

In light of all that, Noah is now 6 months old and I knew it WAS time to start feeding him some solid food! I have to admit that this was NOT easy for me!! I bought the food a few days ago and kept finding excuses to put it off one more day...

Tonight, though, was THE night! As you can see in the video, He loved it!

When I first brought the bowl out he grabbed it and put his mouth on the side as if he could just suck it right out of the bowl...





He kept sticking his tongue out waiting for another bite!



...Finally! SUCCESS!! Thank You, Mommy!!

At the end of the whole wonderful new experience for my precious son, we snuggled on the couch and he nursed! I swear he looked at me with whole new eyes during this time of nursing. As if he was saying, "Wow, Mom!! Can life really be this good??! I get that new food stuff... AND I still get to snuggle up and get the Mama's Milk! Thank You!"

Point of the story?? Each new step is wonderful... as hard as it MAY be, if we just take that next step it brings with it many unforgettable moments with our children!
