It has been about a month now since Will started on "solid" food, and as we suspected, he loves trying new foods! More often than not, he's kicking his legs in his high chair, waiting for his next bite and grabbing for the spoon.
We started at 5 1/2 months (Jan 14) with rice cereal, which he stayed on for a week until we moved onto fruits and veggies.
Following rice cereal, we tried avocado, figuring he could use the extra fat in his diet. And WOW- he goes nuts for it! At this point we were convinced he'd eat anything we put on a spoon and in his face. You know, like his Dad. But we were wrong. As usual, Will changes things up at the last minute to keep us on our toes.
Sweet potatoes were a huge failure, as were bananas. He loves carrots and pears as much as avocado, and lately peas (though he prefers his peas mixed with oat cereal).
I've been having a lot of fun making his meals for him, and during a couple of his nap times each week I'm steaming, pureeing and freezing organic veggies for his upcoming meals. It's so nice to have the time to prepare his food myself! Not only does it make me feel better to know exactly what's going into his body, and the quality of the food, but it's also a huge savings over jarred organic food.
