Carrots, yum, yum

On July 12th Bruce had his first try at solid foods. First up was carrots! Boy, did he like them. At first bite he got a big smile on his face. Although at the start more came out then in, by the end of the session he was attacking the spoon wanting more and more!

He's really taken a liking to eating solids. He gets them once a day around dinner time. He eats about 1/2 the container each time, and has the same type of food for 4 days (to check for allergies/food issues). Carrots were first, then peas, then sweet potatoes, then green beans, then squash. We tried rice and oatmeal, but it upset his digestion, so we've put those on hold for now. He has also had his first fruit: pears! He wasn't sure about their tart taste and grainy texture at first, but he ate it all up. He's done a really great job learning to eat. Gets it all down for the most part, the trick is keeping his hands (and feet!) out of his mouth. We are finally gettng some good use out of his extensive bib collection. Enjoy the photos of his first taste!
