March 3, 10 days before the 6 month mark, we decided to introduce some solid food to Caleb. He had not only been watching us eat with great interest for quite some time, but also just seemed to need more than he was getting from milk alone. So early Saturday morning we began the new adventure of food!
Matt showed him how it's done! :) Matt's face is pretty funny, but I especially LOVE the look on Caleb's face here. He looks so interested and hopeful!
It was so fun to see how extremely excited he was to finally get to see what this "eating with a spoon" thing was all about. He reached forward for every bite...
...and ate with great enthusiasm!
Can you tell how focused he is? So intense and excited about it all!
His first food was pears. We used our handy dandy baby food processor and quickly had some natural, home-made baby food!
Yes, from the fist bite, it's evident that Caleb likes food!
Since then he's had sweet potato, peas, beans, apples, prunes and today started asparagus! The crazy thing is that his favorite seems to be green veggies! Go Caleb! (what do you think of that dad?)! I wish we would have gotten a picture of his reaction to apple. It was a bit sour and his face showed it!
He loves sitting in his chair...and always hooks his toes on the edge! So many new flavors yet to try!
Such a big boy now!! Love all the face-making. :-)
