Our little guy is going to be FIVE MONTHS OLD on Friday. He's been really busy lately, travelling to the USA, lunches at Solly's, shopping trips to Ikea, and just generally amusing and impressing everyone he meets. He is such a happy baby, we are so lucky!
As he weighs 20 lbs (yes, you read that right), and he had been showing interest in food (mainly fussing when we ate in front of him), I made the decision to offer some rice cereal/breastmilk/fruit or veg to him after I nurse him in the morning and evening. Does he ever enjoy it! So far, he has tried avocado, banana, a little yogurt, mango, pear, carrot, and squash. He gets quite impatient, trying to grab the spoon if we don't shovel it in fast enough for him. Since we've offered him some solids after nursing, he has been sleeping a bit better and is generally a much less fussy baby. Naysayers be damned! We know our kiddo the best.
Owen you are my kind of kid!! Yay for real food!! Just so ya know Owen you have almost caught up to Sophia in weight...she is barely 25 lbs. (and yes she is 2 and a half) I don't know how she is my daughter ;)
ReplyDeleteYay for real food, indeed! It's like nursing a toddler, and he obviously enjoys the "extras" he's been getting twice a day. Sophia is soooo cute. She is soooo your daughter (I've seen the pics of her accessorizing!)!
