Solids

We fed Max solids for the first time the other day. He was exactly 5 months old. I know we are supposed to wait until he is 6 months, but a pediatrician at Dan's school suggested that feeding Max solids might help him sleep through the night. I am all for that idea!! So far, it has not helped one bit.

His eyes are red and watery because the poor little guy had a rough day and had been crying.



He didn't really pull any funny faces. He didn't love or hate it. It was actually quite uneventful. He can't possibly be a Walker. We are all food lovers. I thought for sure he would be gulping it down. Correction, we are lovers of good food. Garden vegetable baby food does not count as good food, so there still is hope for Max after all.

** Max said, "ma ma" for the first time today! He is 5 months and 3 days.
