Time for Baby Food

So yesterday was a big day... our first time to eat from a spoon. I have tried rice cereal in his bottle a couple of times before but it always made him constipated. So that only lasted about a week. And Josh and I decided that we would just wait for solids to be fed by a spoon. So yesterday was the day. I sat him down in his high chair and had to prop him up with some stuffed animals but it worked. I mixed one tablespoon of oatmeal cereal with 1 oz of formula water and we were set. He loved it, the second I put the spoon in his mouth he knew what to do. He looked like a little bird every time I had to go get more, his mouth was wide open. Too cute. I know what moms mean when the messiest things can be the things you remember the most and they make your heart melt. He was so cute, but so dirty.  So today we tried it again around the same time. I chose lunch time for his solid foods, just to make sure he doesn't have any reactions. He knew what was coming he was all smiles and mouth was open, he was ready. I am going to do one more day of just oatmeal then on Friday we are going to try some sweet potatoes. Hope he likes them just as much.

Also yesterday he went to the doctor for a weight check up. He weighs 13lbs and 14oz, in one months time he has almost gained 2lbs. On the other hand he was 24 inches long and that is how long he was last time so no growth there... just wait.
