After visiting my relatives, it was obvious that Maggie was eager to give food a try. I wasn't planning on starting until closer to 6 months (she's about 5 1/2 now), but she keeps watching us put food in our mouths very intently. She just looked so ready and I was exited to get started. I bought her rice cereal about a month ago and set up her lazy susan with a few baby food jars this past week in preparation.The other motivation to start solids is that sometimes she sleeps through the night, sometimes she wakes every hour or two and we have to run in to put her binkie back in or I'll nurse her back to sleep. All the books say that the two don't equate, but moms that I talk to say starting them on cereal works wonders.
As we get going, her first foods besides cereal will probably be banana, avocado, plums, peaches, and sweet potatoes. My plan is to try and make a lot of this from scratch and see how it goes. 
oh man, maggie is already 5 1/2 mo already?! where did time go?! i'm anticipating that time will fly by so fast now that the baby is out...
