Solids???????

Well we started solids last Tuesday. I do have to say she took it really well the first day. I went back to work on Wednesday and Russell tried feeding her but he said she cried and wouldn't take any of it. So on Friday when she became sick I tried once and when she didn't want it I just thought it had something to do with her sore throat. With her sore throat and being sick and all I decided to give her Saturday off. So today we try again to get her to take solids....Well she didn't cry but she didn't really take it either. I know that it takes time, but she doesn't seem to be warming up to it at all; it seems to be the other way around. A couple people I know that have kids around Penelope's age within a month got over the rice cereal and moved onto 3 or 4 different foods. They both have said it was a little unusual for their baby to do solids so quick. But maybe Penelope isn't ready and I should try again in a couple of weeks. Or maybe she is just being picky and I got to charge through it. What do you think?
