Today was a big day in Christine's life; she was getting her first solid food. Booth carried her downstairs and put her in her highchair while Brennan made her rice cereal. Brennan went to the table and sat in the chair in front of the highchair. "All right sweetheart are you ready for this?"
Booth smiled," Bones, you feed her and I'll take pictures."
"I don't understand why you insist on getting pictures of Christine eating; she isn't the first baby to do it and she won't be the last by far."
"It's a milestone Bones; you take pictures of your kids milestones."
Brennan shook her head and put a little of the cereal on the spoon. "Bones, you're probably gonna have to do the airplane or the train to get her to open her mouth. The train was Parker's favorite."
"Booth, Christine is naturally inquisitive; she'll take it just to see what it is. Whether she'll like it will remain to be seen." Brennan fed Christine the spoon of cereal without incident, but when the food hit her taste buds Christine scrunched up her face.
"Booth what's wrong with Christine?" Brennan was panicked
Booth chuckled softly,"Nothing Bones, she's just trying to figure out what the heck you just put in her mouth. It's something she's never felt or tasted, give her a second to make up her mind."
Brennan nodded and turned back to Christine about that time she opened her mouth. "I'd say she likes it and wants more Bones."
Brennan nodded, "Was that good sweetheart?" Brennan loaded up the spoon with another bite; Christine ate it without making a face. Booth took another picture and let Christine finish her breakfast in peace. When she was done Brennan carried her over to the couch and sat down. "That was successful."
"Yep, Bones now that Christine is on solids she might not need to eat as often and if she stays full longer she might start sleeping longer at night…"
Brennan smiled,"That'd be a good thing."
"Yes it would be." Booth put his arm around Brennan pulling her closer, making faces at Christine.
