First Food! (now with Video!)

Rex tried his first "solid" food today! We gave him some homemade sweet potato baby food. He loved it and kept trying to grab the spoon to feed himself! He got the hang of it right away! Lately he has been grabbing at our food and has been studying us when we eat so we knew he was very curious to try out "real food." He didn't spit it out or anything and got the hang of swallowing pretty fast! His only problem was that he couldn't quite figure out that he needed to open his mouth. He just stuck his tongue at me to try and taste more so we had to maneuver the spoon past his tongue but other than that, he was a pro! I decided to skip the rice cereal since it can give babies constipation and he has already been having problems with that when we switched to formula so I didn't want to make things worse. Sweet potatoes were suggested a lot as an alternative since they are a good source of vitamins/minerals and fiber :) And Rex seemed to enjoy it :)

Ok got the video to work...kind of...I think it is skinny cuz it was from my Ipod...? but it works :)
