Greyson Starts Solids

For the last couple weeks, (okay, Months) I would give Greyson icecream on a spoon to see how he would do with it. Up until last week he would still "spit" it back out with this tounge. On Wednesday after we went to see the "Cars" cars, we went to Sonic for dinner and I got an icecream. I decided to try again & he did so good with it, I decided it was finally time to start him on solids.

So Yesterday that is what we did. I mixed some Oatmeal with some Milk (don't worry, it was the breast kind, and it's not like he hasn't had enough dairy!) and he ate it right up. I don't think I made enough for him, he wanted more. So tonight when I mix him some, I will double it and see how he does. Then tomorrow, I am planning on starting some veggies to see how he does with that! My little guy is growing up!

Food

I have been really nervous to feed Gavin solids. I think that I just didn't want him "dependant" on anything but me. But alas, the day has come. On Thursday, Mike & I wanted some shakes from Artic Circle, so we took a drive to Saratoga Springs. On our way home, I was sitting in the back seat with Gavin, I really don't remember why, but I was & he was just so interested at the spoon going to my mouth. I didn't think he was ready for "spoon fed" food, so just to check out my theory, I put the spoon in his mouth & he knew exactly what to do with it! So yesterday I decided to buy some Rice Cereal & this morning I mixed up some BM & Rice Cereal & feed it to him. He LOVED it! He did a couple tongue thrusts at the beginning but then got the hang of it & ate it right up!
