Jack Eats Solid Foods!

Jack had an appointment with the GI NP and she said "go ahead and start him on solids!" I wanted to wait until I talked with them before we did and I'm glad. I confirmed with her that I thought he was ready, he has been staring at our food for a couple of weeks now. The NP said to start with orange and yellow veggies. I asked about rice cereal and she said there is no need to even try that, it has no nutritional value and she doesn't know why anyone bothers with it.

So, sweet potatoes it is! We started with those and it went ok. Mostly he just pushed them back out with his tongue. He didn't seem disgusted with the taste, just not interested and maybe a little confused at what his parents were shoving in his mouth. I tried some too and there is good reason we add salt and sugar and such to food. It tastes better!


{For ME!?!}


Good thing babies don't know about all the garbage we fill our food with. We'll keep with the sweet potatoes for a few days and move onto something else.

It really is so thrilling to watch a little one grow and learn, I am just so excited to raise this little boy and teach him and to watch him experience all the wonders that life has to offer him! What a blessing it is to be a parent.
