Food is fun!

Camron is eating well from his spoon. When he was four months old, he started eating rice infant cereal for breakfast and dinner. Then a week later, he tried something new for breakfast ~ oatmeal with bananas infant cereal....not too fond of that. So we tried regular oatmeal infant cereal for a few days, didn't really like it still. Now for breakfast, he is eating rice with mixed fruit flavor infant cereal. YUM-IE! He loves it.

Once we got breakfast down, I started switching up the dinners with some Step 1 babyfood. He always starts with a little rice cereal, just in case the second part isn't so great. At four and a half months old, he tried bananas. I wish I had the video camera out that day, he puckered up and then made the gagging face. I only made him suffer about 4 or 5 bites of that. The next day he didn't like it any better. So I waited for the 5 month milestone before trying the next flavor. Green beans! He loved the green beans, no yuckie faces at all! Yesterday we cracked open the sweet potatoes. Sorry Grandma but the sweet potatoes are a hit! As a matter of fact, he likes them so much that he ate over half the container for dinner tonite AND now he opens his mouth into the little bird lips again for the next bite!!!! The bird lips are so cute, they remind me of when he was a newborn :) I can't wait to try the next food!
