Eating! What an Adventure!







So Broden has been eating solids on and off for about 3 months. When our doctor first suggested we start them at 4 months we werent really sure but he did have 2 teeth so we gave it a try. He wasnt sitting up yet so we fed him in his bouncy seat! That alone was crazy! Getting him to sit still and eat food he want sure about without completly destroying the bouncy seat! I have been making my own baby food which I have actually found to be pretty fun! And I like that I know exactly what he is eating and that there are no fillers and stuff in it. But I have to say that I may buy the meat. I dont know that I can make that! Kind of grosses me out! Ha ha! But anyway! His first food was avocados! He actually liked them a lot. We went with veggies so he wasnt getting the sugary fruits first and then not wanting the veggies. He really likes carrots too! When we first put him in the high chair he still couldnt sit up that well but he was just too wiggley for the bouncy seat! So he kind of sat in it a little crooked to keep propped up! He he! he eats sooo much better in his seat! I wish I could just feed him solids cause he eats much better but I know he needs the nutrients in the formula still. We will be there soon and Im sure Ill say things were so much easier when he was just on teh bottle! You just cant win! And its always fun to watch daddy feed him! Mark has his own techniques to getting Broden to eat without getting all messy but you can see in the pictures how well that works! Mark loves it! He lves being a part of these little things! Anyways! I just wanted to share our adventures with Broden eating food! Its pretty fun and cute to see him with peas up his nose! ha ha! I hope you enjoy the pictures!
