Interesting....RE: starting solids
I was looking at my mom's journal she kept for when I was a baby - I started solids before I was three months! (I was almost 3 months) She used to put me in my bouncy seat and feed me that way...I'd get a bottle, cereal and fruit or a veggie (and had put myself on a breakfast/lunch/dinner schedule)....then when I was able to sit up on my own she gave me finger foods...
I also started teething at 4 months 1 week and didn't cut my first tooth until 2 months later - yikes!
I just thought it was interesting...I'm sure having 2 older brothers to watch made me want to eat real food more 
Re: Interesting....RE: starting solids
Things were done much differently back when with regards to starting solids (and a million other things too, come to think of it) because doctors didn't know quite as much as they do today.
Both times that I had new babies, my MIL always had to be sure to remind me how SHE started HER kids on baby food (Well except for John, I'm assuming, but she never mentions that.) when they were just a couple of WEEKS old. She thinks that doctors and their recommendations today are full of crap but so far they have served me well.
That's not to say that Austin would or would not do better that way either though, who knows!
funny how times have changed huh! I hear it a lot too Laura how dr.'s now are full of it and then I go back and say "yeah, all that scientific research mumble jumble means shite right?! Whatever" lol
People just need to believe that what they did was right. My mom is the first one to turn around and said, "Wow, I wish they had that or I had know about that when you were a baby!"
when my older brother was born in 76, the hospital would not allow him to be d/c'd w/o a car seat, my dad had to run out and buy one! (I think it was St. margarets in boston)
