First Solid Foods

I started to try some solid foods on Cooper last month which was super fun!  I was trying to follow the guidelines in Baby Wise 2, but now I'm just letting him try all different foods in stage one.   I started with some rice cereal and he was pretty much indifferent about it.

It took him awhile to get used to the idea of swallowing but by day 3 he had it down.  

What is this Mommy??

 As you can see, he's just not really sure about it....

I had him stay on rice cereal for awhile since it was mainly just for practice and he never finished one serving.  He would still eat it, but halfway through, he was done and just wanted his bottle

Look at those cute hands

My little cutie

The next food that we tried was carrots, which was a huge success.  He loved them!!

Yummy

 He loved the carrots so much that he couldn't wait to get more!

 He would wave his hands up and down with excitement when the carrots were coming towards his mouth...too cute!

 Then after a couple days of carrots, we moved on to green beans.  I guess the pictures speak for themselves....

This is not carrots!

He did not like the green beans one bit.  He would just spit it out.  It's so funny how babies as young as 6 months have such a taste preference.  

Then he started to get upset so that was enough of green beans.  I did try peas a week later and he liked that better for some reason.  

After trying lots of different veggies, we started on some fruit.  He loved bananas, which is no surprise, but he was super fussy and not himself that day so I'm not sure if it sat well with him.  

He seems to like everything so far except for the green beans.  It's fun seeing him try new things.  

Here is a video of him eating some carrots...
