M. tried food for the first time last weekend -- the inevitable rice cereal. What an incredibly happy moment to see our baby growing to be so healthy and strong that she's already ready for "big people" food.
But at the same time, my heart ached while feeding her. After all, this 14.5 lb. baby, who is nearly six months old, has been sustained entirely, I said entirely, on breastmilk. That means she has been living her entire little life off of food that I create for her daily in my own body.
So while it was incredibly exciting to see her eat real food, it meant something so much bigger. She's growing up and becoming more independent.
And I guess mommy will just have to start sharing her.
