His face was great; not too sure if we liked them much, but it was a completely different flavor and texture compared to Mama's milk.
Tuesday, we tried sweet potatoes and loved them! I added cinnamon and nutmeg to it and I think that helped a ton. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we did the same. On Thursday, we started opening up our mouth for the food. Friday, he was eating like a champ and LOVING his food. He'd get so excited when he'd see the spoon, he'd start raising his hands and opening his mouth. I learned that letting him hold my pinkies while feeding him was a big help to keep them from intercepting the spoon and becoming face paint. He pulls my hand in now. I ate after feeding him and every time I lifted my fork of spaghetti, he'd get so excited for more... I felt so bad for eating in front of him. He just wants to taste all that I eat. He had started noticing me eating probably about two weeks ago and I knew he was getting ready for food. I was waiting for his four month appointment before doing it. He was ready for solid foods. We don't even spit it out. We have a video of him eating last night. Jason started taping as I was feeding and it was awesome. I just need to get the video from him.
He has also started singing with me as I get him ready for naps and bedtime. I also have been singing in the tub and other places. He really sings along and it's so cute. Not only do I have this incredibly talkative and communicative baby (he started responding and talking back to me before two months old! Crazy early and a TON of talking), but he sings along, too. He was sent to me for many reasons and he's a blessing to us everyday. We love having him apart of our family.
