Seri's First Cereal

There's an Indian tradition where the brother of the mom gives the baby their first bite of cereal with a silver spoon and bowl. Uncle Travis was here visiting so he gave Serianna her first bites, and she loved it! I wasn't sure if she was ready yet, but she slurped it right down, and then tried to take the spoon from him! After she was done eating, we put 4 symbolic items in front of her to see which one she picked up first. There was a book, lettuce (supposed to be dirt), money and a pen. She first tried to get the money, but couldn't get it off the tray, so then she went for the lettuce. This suggests she's going to be working with the earth. It was a fun little ceremony, and I'm excited to give her more food, maybe she'll chunk up!
