Mash for lunch

Raghav had his first solid meal today - mashed potatoes.

When Nalin sat him down on the couch while holding him and put the bib around him, Raghav was quite confused about what was happening. Plus, his grandparents and Nitin were on a video call, and were talking through the laptop (which already confuses him quite a bit and he always looks at it curiously, not sure why he's been asked to smile at the computer or talk to it).

I gave him a little bit through a spoon, and as is now his habit with anything he sees coming towards him, he extended his hand to hold the spoon. He wanted to probably put it in his mouth and chew it a little. Which is exactly what he did throughout the meal.

I thought he won't have more than half a spoon or so of the potatoes, but either he liked his meal or just wanted to keep chewing on the spoon, he had more than a few spoons of the mash.

We knew he was ready for solids as he'd been paying much more attention to what we're eating or drinking. He's been looking curiously at our plates and then at our faces.
