Eating Solids!!

Bring on the grub!!!  Bryant is officially eating solids!  Woohoo!  Above is a picture of the first time I put him in his booster seat.  He was super stoked about what was coming!  :)  The first night I gave him rice cereal.  He actually did really good with it!  Below is a video!  Josh is working crazy hours, but luckily my mom was visiting, so she was able to record those first bites of solid food.  Yay!

Below is a picture of him once he was done.  I think he managed to stay pretty clean!

The following morning I decided to try bananas.  I have decided to make Bryant's food.  And by make, I simply mean take the foods I am eating and, if needed soften them, and then mash them up.  So...I cut up a little of my banana, mashed it with a fork, and fed it to Bryant.  He wasn't the biggest fan of it.  But this morning I mashed up a banana that wasn't as ripe as the other one, and he loved it!  I'm thinking maybe the banana taste was a little to strong the first time...??

 Seriously...you want me to eat this??

Last night I decided to try some sweet potatoes.  At first he wasn't really eating them, but once I added a little water to them he loved it!!  I guess it was a little too thick for his liking quite yet, but once I made them a little runny he seriously ate them up!!

So far the solids experience has been fun!  However, I have to admit, it was definitely a lot easier when he was simply eating breastmilk.  Now it takes a lot more time and I have a mess to clean up!  Plus, he makes the mess worse by always wanting to try and feed himself!  Anyway, there's no going back now!! :)  I'm including a couple more pictures of Bryant below.  Apparently he likes to eat plants also! ;)

Until next time...
