A few weeks ago we started DB on solids and there was absolutely no hesitation on his part. He loves eating!! After the first of the year both Dean & I noticed that DB had taken a real interest in our food and watching us eat. So, on January 21st we officially started feeding DB solids. We began with the traditional rice
cereal and have now tasted squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans and oatmeal. His favorites are squash and oatmeal. Although the oatmeal has only come into the runnung lately because I started sprinkling oatmeal in there, which made a huge difference! I just can't hardly stand watching him eat such bland food all the time! Other noteworthy items: DB likes his sweet potatoes cold, any clothing smeared with veggies must be stripped off and soaked immediately and you must remember to get the wet paper towel at the beginning of the feeding. ;) As you can see from the pictures below DB is learning to sit up and getting better at it each day. He loves the new perspective of sitting up. Enjoy the pictures below.
