Hello, sweet potatoes, bananas, and avocados! We started Weston on solids a few days ago and, wow...it really was nice changing simple diapers for the past 5 and 1/2 months. Now they're a lot more--shall we say--complicated? And stinkier?
He absolutely loved the sweet potatoes I gave him (and that I made!). It wasn't that difficult to feed him from a spoon, either. He opened up, made a few "What the *@$# is this?" faces, and then swallowed like a champ. Then he promptly opened up for more.

Loving the sweet potatoes, but a bit confused about the food source |

| Why do they always grab at the spoon? |
I was really, really hoping that feeding him solid foods would help him sleep through the night, but, nope. No such luck. He's still waking up at least once to be fed. He sometimes wakes up twice, but I've been letting him cry himself back to sleep. Two weekends ago he slept from 7pm to 5am, woke up, fed, and then went back to bed until 7:30am. That's the longest stretch we've ever had.
He's growing up so fast. Eating solids, drinking from a sippie cup, crawling, teeth !!! Yikes.
ReplyDeletePlus, he's adorable on Skype.
