Today Asher started solids...kind of by accident and it was nothing that I was anticipating. There was no crying or mess...he LOVED it!!! After the first bite, he opened his mouth for more. I was in shock. Granted he started with pears, but still I thought something crazy would happen. I guess the mess comes in when he starts vegetables. 
However, I learned something about myself as a mother today...Even though Asher was ready to start solids, I was not ready. I was not ready to acknowledge that he was ready for them. He is only 4 months old, but feeding him solids seems like such a toddler thing. Already at four months, I am sentimental about the months that have passed us by.
How exciting for Asher! I am sure he LOVED those pears!!! If he doesn't like the veggies, try mixing them with the fruit. It worked with Kaylyn ( the oldest)...for awhile... :)
