I started eating real food around my five month birthday. My first gourmet meal was oatmeal and it didn't taste so good. After a few days getting used to the slop in my mouth, we added carrots which made it taste a lot better. Now I'm an old pro. I love my oatmeal cereal, not so much rice, though.
I think my favorite is carrots, but I do a good job with squash, too.
