Thomas succeeded after his third attempt at eating "real" food (if you want to call rehydrated rice flakes food). I know... I am a bit eager in this department; in fact I'm not really sure if I just want to see their reaction (like the amusement one has while watching their dog eat peanut butter) or are keen to get a pic of them smothered in food. Anyhoo, we attempted his first introduction to table food two weeks ago a couple of days after his four month birthday. He promptly "thrusted" the food out of his mouth, which according to the user manual ("What to Expect the First Year") is a sign that they're not ready for food. The next weekend I decided to give it another whirl. Exit rice mush, insert baby foot (much more appetizing). This past Friday we gave it another whirl and voila ... he swallowed it down (third time's a charm). He's quickly getting the hang of it ... and seems to enjoy it.
