A SOLID POST...

On the advice of Dr. Greenberg we started the kids on solid foods at 4 months. They weren't sure what to do with the rice cereal that we introduced at first but that quickly changed and now they know that when we put them in their booster chairs that food is on the way. Since that first introduction of rice cereal we have progressed through several veggies, fruits and even meats. They are not big fans of the chicken or beef in the jar and I can't blame them because that stuff smells terrible - but they love their veggies and fruits. So far we've tried:
  • Sweet potato
  • Butternut squash
  • Carrots
  • Green beans
  • Waxed beans
  • Peas
  • Avocado 
  • Bananas
  • Apples
  • Peaches
  • Pears 
  • Fruit medleys
  • Mixed veggies
  • Chicken
  • Beef
  • Baby Mumm Mumms
  • Rice cereal
  • Oat cereal
  • Rice cereal with bananas 
I also bought the kids a sippy cup the other day and have been giving it to them at their meals with a bit of water. They have no idea what to do with it but they enjoy holding it and putting the spout in their mouth. One day soon they'll learn that there is liquid in it! 

Charlotte isn't quite sure what's on that spoon
mmmm I like cereal
