His pediatrician gave him the ok to start eating at 5 months, and you bet I started feeding him! (and he's been sleeping like a champ since we started :)
His first meal was some rice cereal, and he didn't quite know what to make of it. My friend, Sarah, suggested I put it on my finger and let him eat off of that... It worked! He is now eating bowl-fulls of it!
At my in-laws house, we tried avocado... Loved it!
Then we tried peas... the first bite was accepted.. second bite was okay two.. third bite got me a sourface :) And made him gassy.. so we're gonna hold off on that for awhile.
Next food in line: greenbeans and rice! mmmmmm.....
Here is some live action of all the fun!
oh what a big boy he's getting to be... I loved the photos and especially the video. He's so good at eating already. Seth took a bit longer to figure out how to eat out of a spoon but we started a bit younger at 4 mos. My mom pushed me to it constantly from 3 mos on and my pediatrician said that I can start at 4 mos so we did... As much for Seth as for grandma to get off my case. hehe
ReplyDeleteyeah, i don't think he would've wanted to eat at 4 months either... when i started, he didn't seem to know what to do with it... but i kept trying because he was starting to stare at us when we were eating and start smacking his lips... Iguess he was finally ready :)
ReplyDeleteoh my word, love the video! He certainly seems to love his solids. oh how I miss his little face - can't wait to see him soon!! :)
