Vanessa begins to eat solid food

In Portugal, babies start eating solid food at 3 months. Manue's mother was surprised that Vanessa was still on milk and had already stocked up the pantry with jars of baby food. Well... since we were already in Portugal and trying to blend in with the locals (actually, Manue is sort of a local... she goes by Nella here), we decided to give it a try. Oh boy did V like that. She did her best to gobble up the rice cereal, but mostly made a big mess. Here's a video with Manue, her mom, and her brother watching.
