So here he is, bibbed and ready to go on the first day of spoon-feeding. Is he cute, or what?
We passed on the typical rice-cereal opener, choosing avocado as Matthew's very first food. Yummmm... all those good, unsaturated fatty acids, great for babies' brain development! Here's what it looked like:
The moment of truth... first bite.
Love that reaction.
A few bites later it didn't seem to have grown on him much...
...but actually, he did very well with it that day, and the next day--phew! You should have seen him slurping it down!
Pureed mango was his second introduction into the wide world of fruit.
Whoops! That bite may have been a little tart.
OK, Son, now that you've tried mango, are you still up for the avocado? Apparently so, based on this reasonably satisfied face...
Today we started bananas, but I didn't bother taking pictures. No very extreme faces--I think he's getting used to the whole eating concept. Plus, I mean, bananas. How can you go wrong?
So it seems that our boy is off to a good start on the "solids" front. Tiny portions so far, but hey, his stomach is still the size of, what? A walnut or something? Besides, we gotta be grateful for his tiny appetite while it lasts. All too soon, I'm sure, we'll reach those fabled teenage-boy days, when nothing in the house will be safe from our ravenous young wolf.
Ah, food... one of God's good gift to mankind! You're in for a whole lot more yumminess, Matthew. Just you wait and see.
