I Prefer the Taste of Haddock (Captain)

For some perspective, read what I wrote about Katherine's first reaction to solids at 6 months. "We've introduced solids, but Katherine doesn't seem terribly interested. She likes the plate and spoon to play with, but she dislikes our feeding her. She makes faces at the banana, then spits it out. I would assume she won't get very much until she learns to feed herself with some proficiency. She seems to like rice cereal and applesauce the best, but I doubt if she gets much in her mouth."

At 7 months: "Katherine spent about 1/2 hour trying to feed herself applesauce with a spoon. She was surprisingly successful at getting the spoon in her mouth." A week later: "Katherine fed herself a banana with the usual incredible mess. She is adamant about feeding herself."
