Kyle first
started eating solids in August just before he turned six months old. He
started with rice cereal. Since we didn't know how he would do, his first
few feedings were shirtless.
Mommy got to
feed him the first time, but Daddy got to try the second night. He is
still eating rice cereal...and his bib!
In addition
to rice cereal, Kyle started eating fruits and vegetables, starting a new
one every three days or so. Here he is having one of his favorites -
bananas.
One of his
first vegetables to try was carrots. He liked them. Of course Kyle will
eat anything. He did not reject anything we tried to feed him.
Kyle quickly
learned when he was in the high chair, he was getting something yummy to
eat.
He generally
kept clean except for the area around his mouth.
Kyle loved
trying his first finger foods. His first experience feeding himself was
with Wagon Wheels. When you let them get moist and don't eat them quickly,
they make a big mess.
Kyle also
tried - and liked - biter biscuits. These, too, get messy when you get
them wet and don't eat them quickly.
