Solid Foods

At Owen's 4-month check-up he got the go ahead to start on solid foods since he has gained enough weight and was drinking enough milk.

Owen's first few bites of rice cereal.

He started out with rice cereal and seemed to enjoy it the first time although he wasn't too sure what to think about the consistency.

Taking a break between bites.

Not too sure what to do with his hands.

It defiantly took him a bit to figure out what to do with it once it was in his mouth but didn't make too much of a mess for his first time.

Only a little messy after the first meal.

Two weeks after Owen started on rice cereal he also got fruits and veggies. He started out with "1st foods" which included applesauce, bananas, carrots, green beans, peaches, pears, peas, prunes, squash, and sweet potatoes. Bananas and carrots were by far his favorite and he DID NOT LIKE squash. Owen really likes the different tastes and with all of the fruits and veggies (except squash), he gets really mad when they are gone.

Our little messy eater VERY mad the yummy carrots are all gone.
