Fun With Baby Food




Last night we had our first adventure with baby food! Cole has been eating rice cereal for a few weeks and really likes it so we decided to try something with a little more flavor. We started with sweet potatoes...we were so excited to get him in to his highchair and see how he would like it. He loved the highchair but was not too excited about the sweet potatoes. He would be so excited to get a new bite and once it hit his tongue he would make the funniest faces! I am planning on making most of Cole's baby food but we went with the store bought food last night because of time. Hopefully things will go better tonight and he will get more and more used to it as the days go on! I think the funniest thing about this new adventure was how we reacted to his reaction....Cole would take a bite, make a horrible face and we would cheer and clap and talk about how good sweet potatoes are (I hate sweet potatoes!) and how fun eating is. It really goes to show that once you become a parent you will do anything for your kids!

How fun!!! I'm excited to start solids with Ethan, but we're going to wait until 5 months, I think. (mainly because I'm afraid it will open the flood gates of certain in-laws wanting to feed Ethan off their dinner plates)

I'm planning on making Ethan's baby food too - you save soooo much money! You'll have to let me know how it goes and give me pointers.

He is soooo beautiful!
