Yummy in My Tummy!

Jett is really enjoying his baby food, yay! He has now been introduced to sweet potatoes, peas, & apples. Surprisingly, he seems to like the apples the least. But after I tasted them I could see why-a little on the sour side (nothing like applesauce that has tons of added sugar)! I wanted to buy bananas instead of apples, but the grocery store we go to didn't have them in Earth's Best. I am very happy with this brand, and I think it's important that baby's first foods are organic. He hasn't seemed to have any tummy aches; he actually seems to be going #2 with more ease. He eats sweet potatoes more than anything. It's so funny because he sometimes gets impatient between spoonfuls-still getting used to having to wait for the next bite! At this point, I only give him one can per day. This is usually split up between two feedings (one half in the early afternoon, one half during dinner). The tongue thrust reflex that he still had when we started the rice cereal is now gone, but we are still a little messy...especially when he tries to grab the spoon!



Speaking of spoons, I have really developed a preference for Gerber soft bite infant spoons.
I bought some other spoons that I thought were really cool looking, because they change colors if the food is to hot for baby. But I do not like them at all! The Gerber spoons are a lot flatter, making it MUCH easier for Jett to get the food in his mouth.
