A week ago we started Drew on baby food. His pediatrician in Springfield likes to wait until six months, and since I'm not a huge fan of the messy baby food stage, I happily obliged. Since the first few weeks are supposedly a time for just trying out new foods and texture, I bought a few jars of food thinking it would last us a while. Remember, they say that a baby typically eats a teaspoon or so the first few days of trying. Well, not this baby! Baby Drew loves him some baby food. He's eating entire jars at a time pretty much since the first try. If you try to quit before he's ready, he squeals until you return with the food :) This boy will quickly be ready for table food!
Not real sure about the squash on the first bite
Decided he liked it...
And trying to lick off every little bit :)
Our Dr. claims that babies need nothing but breast milk for the entire first year. I did not follow that, but I did hold off on food until 7 or 8 months. He was on cow's milk by 11 months!
ReplyDeleteDrew is so cute. I love that he loves the yummy food. Perhaps he won't learn the picky-ness that Mac has/had (don't know if he still is).
