Solids!

So Grayson has started on solids! This was an event that I was looking forward to more than you could possibly imagine. I went out and bought bowls and spoons a month before it was time to start. Since Grayson was having a bought of diarrhea, his pediatrician suggested we start with carrots or bananas since they are constapators. I decided to go with carrots... and he loved them!!!

After the required three days, we tried bananas... and again... LOVE! I was so excited! I kept hearing about babies that don't like solids when they start or who only like certain things... and here I had a kid who loved it all! Next I really wanted to give him apples... so I went to the store... bought the organic fujis... peeled them, boiled them, blended them up... and sat down to feed it to him. I was so excited! I love apples! Grayson? Not too excited about them... so I tried again the next day... still not excited about them... so I tried them AGAIN and even mixed them with carrots... still no go... I can not tell you how sad I am about this!

Dave really wanted to give him sweet potatoes so I tried those next and of course... he loves them! Ugh... I really want a kid that will eat anything... and they say if you just keep trying they will eventually come around to it... so I have my ice cube size servings of apples in the freezer and in a week or so... I will try again.

Tomorrow we will try something green... peas or green beans... cross your fingers he likes those!

Pretty excited about his new high chair! (as are mommy and daddy cause we got a super good deal on it!)

Yes that is a very large shot of tequila... Dave thinks it's funny that Grayson wants it... Apparently this is how Dad's bond with their sons?

He wants my phone... I just think he's cute :)
