Solids

Another tip the clinic gave us was to start him on solids. I had been waiting because he is my baby and it is hard for me to believe that my baby is old enough to eat solid foods (or semi-solid in the case of baby food). We gave him oatmeal to start with and he seemed to really like it. He thought it tasted interesting and the spoon was especially fun. The first 2-3 days he was really into it and since then hasn't been as interested. We tried green beans last night and he didn't really think that was great. I think we may take a break and try again later. It is supposed to be fun for him and I don't want to force the issue. The spoon continues to be the best part of the whole thing for him. He grabs onto it and shoves it into his mouth with pretty good accuracy.
