Bug's first mush

Well, Bug had her first goop yesterday over at Babu and Grampa's house
for Thanksgiving. She's now made of both mommy and Lundberg family
farms rice. We gave her rice cereal and EBM out of my baby bowl. The
expression on her face with the first bite was priceless -- "What the
HELL?!?!?". But even the first spoonful went down, and by the third
she was slurping it off the spoon as soon as it reached her lips. It
was even messier than I anticipated, as she wanted to "help" and the
tactic of giving her another spoon didn't work. She didn't want any
old spoon, she wanted the one that mommy had with the good stuff! So
it was not only all over her face but also both hands. I'm thinking
we may need to revise our 2x/week bathing schedule now... Overeager
new parents that we are, we of course videotaped the whole proceeding
and have already watched it several times.
