& he eats

These pictures are actually from the first time we tried to let Dean eat some food.  I believe in waiting to feed solid foods to babies until they are about 6 months & showing signs that they're ready (which is also what AAP recommends).  Our pediatrician had told me at Dean's 4 month check-up that we could start him on solids.  B & I discussed it & just didn't think he was ready.  So we decided to try when he was 5 months.  These pictures are from our attempt.  Dean was obviously not interested at all in eating food.  So we made the decision to wait a couple of weeks.  

Dean has now started (very slowly) eating some solids.  We started with avocado (the perfect food) & have now moved on to pumpkin.  I got the very awesome Beaba babycook machine at Christmas from my mom & can't wait to start using it to make food for Dean.  I made Max's food too, but used old fashion steamer baskets & a food processor.  I can't wait to use my new fancy baby food making machine!

  1. he seems so big, but then you see him in that big-boy seat, and he suddenly looks little again! keep him in that seat & maybe he'll stay a baby, just a little longer!!!!
