Like I promised, here goes the solid food experience…
A couple weeks ago, Taylor began to become extremely interested in the food that we were eating. He would watch us pick it up with a fork, and follow the item, very intently, as we put it in our mouth. He has been eating about 7-8 ounces of formula, so we thought, well we definitely aren’t upping his formula any more, so maybe we will give solids a try. He is sitting rather well, so the pediatrician said go for it. We started him off on rice cereal, and after a near choking experience that almost gave me a heart attack, he finally got it down. Although, he wasn’t that big of a fan. He liked the eating part, but the taste…well, these pictures say it all…
After about a week of the rice cereal, we decided to let him venture out and taste some new foods. I chose carrots! Let me tell you, those things look and smell gross! At first, he wasn’t too sure about this weird taste in his mouth, but after a few spoonfuls, he loves them! I let him play with the food, so he was a little messy, but the smile on his face is priceless. It is so fun to see Taylor experience new textures and I can’t wait to start to see him become more curious.
Until next time…(hopefully it won’t be as long as before!)
