Will's First Bites

Our pediatrician gave us the go ahead to start Will on solid foods at his 4 month check -up. We decided to wait a few more weeks and eventually gave Will his first taste of anything other than milk/formula on April 10th, one day before his 5 month birthday.

We had Nana wield the spoon. He seemed ready to begin!

Not so sure about it at first...

Not surprisingly, he quickly figured out what to do. Since then, he has had carrots, peas, apples and squash. I bought some of the jars of Stage 1 Earth's Best baby food, and from the beginning I had to mix them with cereal since he needed something with more texture. We're moving on to Stage 2 and homemade foods now. Looks like we will be fortunate to have another good eater!

Awesome! Max didn't like the rice cereal so much. We might skip the grain and head straight into veggies.

Will definitely prefers the veggies - we only did straight cereal/formula for the first few times, and now he can quickly down an entire jar of Stage 1 veggies mixed with cereal. We're on to Stage 2!
