Solid Foods

At our 4 month check up we were given the go ahead to try solid foods. So step one was get out the high chair and see how he likes it.

I'm ready to eat!!

Kayden had already had some rice cereal in his bottles, but he never really liked it so we tried it in actual cereal form....

I think its safe to say he didn't like it very much.

So then we decided to try applesauce.....

It went a little better than the rice, but not much. We'll keep trying!

Until then we'll stick to bottles, which Kayden is learning how to hold! When we fix a bottle we show it to Kayden and say whats this? He looks, reaches both hands out and grabs onto the bottle and attempts to put it in his mouth. It really is the cutest thing!

almost there....

Got it!

And Kayden is also watching Brett and I very closely and he wants to do what we do. Mainly eat and drink. If we pick up a cup and he's in our arms he tries to grab the cup and put it in his mouth. Last night we had ice cream and Kayden saw it as a cup that he wanted to put in his mouth. So in order to keep him quiet....

He licked the side of the cup while I ate.

You gotta do what you gotta do!
