Jax experienced two big "firsts" during the last few weeks. Her introduction to solid foods came just after her six-month mark. Admittedly, six months may seem late but, truth be told, we didn't wait as long as we did with Michael... The experience taught us that pediatricians are right, introducing solids is much easier when done earlier (imagine that). While Jax was a little hesitent for the first nanosecond, she quickly began grabbing at the spoon to put it in her own mouth, and crying in despair at the long wait between spoonfuls!
We also took Jax swimming for the first time and saw her dare-devil nature in full force. She had no problem getting into the water, despite its cold temperature, and voiced her impatience when Michael jumped in and she couldn't immediately follow. She jumped and played in the water with all of us and, most surprisingly, when she saw Jonathan and Michael put their faces in the water to blow bubbles she tried it out herself - several times!
