Preston and I have decided that we are going to start feeding Logan baby food a little at a time. We have heard that you can start your baby on baby food around 4-6 months, however, we've also heard that you should wait until they are closer to 6 months to reduce the risk of them developing allergies. The pediatrician did give us the go-ahead though so we decided to start giving him rice cereal once or twice a week to try to get him used to it and then as he gets older and closer to 6 months we will increase the frequency. So earlier this week I tried to give him a little rice cereal and he DID NOT like it so his pediatrician told me that we could try to add a little something in with it like prunes. A couple days later we were going to try again so we added some prunes and that did the trick. He went to town! Needless to say it was pretty funny to watch. Preston was feeding him and he was a mess! He discovered that if he took a bite and then stuck his thumb in his mouth he would swallow it better so after every bite logan would shove his hands in his mouth and then we were done feeding him and hadn't cleaned him up yet, he kept putting his fingers in there because they tasted so sweet. So now it is our thing to give him rice cereal and prunes twice a week and then slowly as he gets older we will mix it up with apples, bananas, string beans, avocado, etc. and expand his edible horizons. Anyway, here are pictures.
