Recently we’ve started Isaac on solids. I’ll have a whole other post about what he’s eaten so far, but that involves uploading lots of stuff to YouTube and a bit more in depth analysis, so we’ll start here.
We started Isaac off with rice cereal. It seems to be a staple for baby’s first food so we went with it. While he didn’t absolutely despise it, you could tell he was not too sure about non breast milk things being eaten. Not a big surprise since that’s all he’s had to eat for over 6 months. It wasn’t all bad though, he ate what we had (though probably half ended up on him in some form or fashion) and didn’t fuss too much.
After he finished his rice cereal we gave him the spoon to play with. We figure he’s going to be using utensils at some point in the future so he may as well get used to holding them and seeing how they work. Well, he’s going to have to learn how far into his mouth he can put a spoon because so far he has to be reminded every time that it does not go all the way in. Some day it will sink in. Until then we’ll just hope he doesn’t vomit (fingers crossed). But the spoon was a big hit, he played with it for probably 10-15 minutes until we decided it was time to clean him up and get ready for bed.
Since rice cereal we’ve branched out to sweet potatoes, avocado, oatmeal, pears, peaches and, most recently, prunes. But, as I said earlier, that’s to follow soon.
Until then, enjoy.
