to big boy food, that is! Another milestone reached, another adventure begins! And this one's gonna be messy. As you may already know, or have witnessed from photos, or have inferred from previous posts, our boy obviously loves to eat. He loves food so much, in fact, that he was given the okay by his doc to go ahead with solids, at four months!! I know, I know, it's not all that uncommon these days, but he's just growing up so fast. I swear it was yesterday that Jason and I were wishing we could make only one ounce of formula versus the standard two! Ah, those were the days... Now, he kills an entire bottle like a frat boy would in Daytona, and he eats BIG BOY food!
His first encounter with the grown up - or pseudo grown-up - food was organic rice cereal, which he surprisingly loved. And still loves! And even though mom and dad were a bit worried at the outcome of that first meal, he ate like he's been doing it his whole life.
Spoon? Mushy food? Swallowing without my tongue thrusting reflex? Please, I'm a natural, Mom! You know this!!!
These days, his gourmet repertoire includes sweet potatoes, carrots, bananas, applesauce, peas, beets (yes! I said BEETS), rice cereal and oatmeal. All homemade, of course! (More about my incredible Suzie Homemaking in another post!)
