Time for solids

We have hit the age, 4 months, that our doctor said we could introduce solid foods to Cohen. We decided to wait a couple extra weeks because of the holidays and such. On Saturday we attempted rice cereal.
Hmmm, what is this?
I'll try some.
Some did go in my mouth
So the first attempt went okay. We think he hasn't yet lost the "extrusion reflex." To keep solid food in his mouth and then swallow it. He needs to stop using his tongue to push food out of his mouth. We tried it again a couple more times but the same kind of thing happened. He ends up pushing more of the food out than he actually swallows. So we'll wait a little while before trying it again.For now he'd rather just play with the spoon.
