solids, part II
Wow, what a difference a month makes!! You ladies were totally right ;-) (as usual)
I'm not sure if you remember, but I posted a month ago that we were trying solids and that Warner was just having none of it and that I thought it might be too early. Many of you suggested waiting another month or so. Now that Warner is 5 months we decided to go ahead and try again and it was a totally different experience. He was lunging for the spoon and gobbled up the whole bowl of cereal in no time. Every time he swallowed a spoonful he would smile really big and put his hands out for more...it was too cute :-) (and much better than him making an awful face, turning his head from the spoon and spitting it all out!!)

Re: solids, part II
Gald to hear things are working out! Just a heads up and this is not to say that this will happen to you but after about 2 months of eating solids, my DD wanted nothing to do with them. She would spit it out, smack my hand away, or turn her head.
Don't know why just did and I really didn't worry much since formula is still supposted to be the main source of nutrition. But she went back to normal soon after but she did have trouble if anyone other than myself tried to feed her. It took some time at daycare but she finally came around.
How fantastic! I don't post much, but I do remember your previous post about Warner's first try at solids.
Sounds like he's on his way to being a good eater :-)
That's the way it worked for us too. here is her first time with rice cereal. NOT good times.
Fun!
Along those lines, here is how DD #2 enjoyed rice cereal the first time:
And here is how she "enjoyed" applesauce the first time:
wow it's been a month since that post??
great it's working out!
after u've tried them all, u can buy a box that has a mix of them, it also has spelt which is wheat so that's a good way to try out wheat (but only after you've already tried all the other grains so that if there is an allergic reaction, u'll know what caused it)
great photos!
here's 1 of several photos of DD with her 1st lemon (she put it in her mouth by herself) a couple of weeks ago (I think I scewed a little trying to make it smaller but you get the idea)
I love all of these pictures, so adorable. Reminds me to photograph DD when she tries rice cereal in upcoming weeks. :-)
Bh, glad Warner liked solids this time around!
