For weeks or even months, Jonah had been following our food from hand to mouth, gaping at us big-eyed. As his coordination developed, I'd find straws and plastic bags being pulled out of my hands - along with an occasional dive for an apple. He wanted some, long before I was ready to be tied to the high chair a few times a day. And with nutrition to back me up (babies don't need solids until at least 6 months, or even later), I made him wait. Finally, a few days before his half birthday, we put him in the high chair and made him some rice cereal.
At first, he seemed to be nursing the spoon - understandably. He only ate a teaspoon or so the first night, but I think he liked it.
