You know your baby is growing up when...they start eating solid foods. Exciting and fun, but a little sad too. He's not a teeny tiny baby anymore!! but it is so much fun to watch him experience new things. At Dayton's 4 month appointment, our Dr said to practice with rice cereal and then as soon as we were ready, to fly through all the veggies. He also said that we didn't have to wait between each veggie. Yes! We get to start fruit at 5 months. I love our Dr. He is so practical and just realistic. AND he backs up everything we believe about clean eating - completely. He said that we were doing things right and yes, we all ate hot dogs and macaroni as a little kid and survived, but "isn't there a better way?" Yes, yes there is. Both the hubs and I are big on nutrition and we want to pass those good habits down to our kiddos. More on this later.
We figured that since he was so great at eating rice cereal, that he would love eating solid foods too. We were correct! This kid looooves to eat. The first foods he ate were avocados. His face (in the video below) is so funny! I am making his baby food (more on this later too). We buy organic veggies and I puree them. Instead of adding water to smooth them out, I add breast milk. I had read that somewhere and thought it was a great idea! So not only is he getting pesticide free veggies, but he's also getting some extra nutrition and antibodies. Love it. So far, so good! and we're saving about 80% of the cost of buying baby food.
Welp, here it is. Dayton's first time eating food.
