Squash

As soon as the doctor gave me the go-ahead to start James on solid foods, I was SO EXCITED to make baby food. He loves rice cereal so much and now gets so excited when we put him in his high chair. He grabs the spoon as we feed him and tries to jam it in his mouth! Next we are supposed to introduce vegetables. Then, fruit. When I was making my first batches of baby food the other day (squash, carrots, and green beans), I couldn’t help but give him a little taste.

He took his first bite…

and was not sure how he felt about it!

He gave it some time as it sat in his mouth…

then, decided he liked it.

A lot.

So, he wanted more.

And more.

And more.

My friends tell me that solid foods will be “life changing” for me. That his belly will stay full a little longer, therefore he will sleep a little longer.
