At Jack's 9 month appointment he got the go ahead to start on real people solids. We are still giving him baby food along with the solids because it takes so long for him to gum the food enough to swallow that after awhile I call time's up on the solids and top him off with puree. He is liking it so far...although I age with every feeding in fear that he is going to choke.
Here is his first plate of food...carrots, string cheese, turkey sticks, and pasta.
He LOVED the cheese! With every bite he would hum with excitement. During his meals he is finally started to drink out of the sippie cup...guess all that gumming made him thirsty. That one plate lasted 2 nights because there was so much on it and it took him so long to eat...It probably could have made it another night but for every Jack bite...I took 3 (except for the turkey sticks....that's shady)
The Tavares Family came over Thursday while Nick was working downtown. Ethan and Jack had fun playing in his "cage", Patrick enjoyed the Wii, and Lisa and I chatted. It was all fun and games til Jack tried to pinch Ethan's cheeks off-he doesn't know his own strength yet...
Today we went to Gymboree Open Gym to get some of Jack's wiggles out. He had more fun watching all the other kids though than playing. He's getting so good at moving around and exploring all the equipment.
Do you think we need to cut back on the orange food? Check out Jack's nose!!
