Bush tucker

Back from Oz and Juno has been feted by all and sundry. Six months old today and she has just started on solids. Just before we left she was starting to evince an almost sharklike interest in any morsels that were within striking distance, so we decided to se how she would go with some real tucker.

I was keen to start her off on something substantial, something that reflected her (recently experienced) Aussie heritage ... something she could really get her gums into, like a pie floater or a Chiko Roll, but Jess was having none of that. So we served up a bowl of organic rice cereal and warm breast milk (yum).

She was into it like a shot. Scoffed it down. Well, the stuff that didn't end up all over her face, Jess's lap and the table...
