First Solid Food

I’m way behind…yet again!!! So March 1st we gave Carson his first solid food. We started him on oatmeal. I am trying to make all of his food. So far he has had oatmeal, brown basmati rice, butternut squash, chicken, carrots, avocado, and green beans. The only thing he really refused to eat was green beans and I think that was more of a texture thing than anything. They don’t puree up quite as nice as other foods. We figured we’d get him to like things that aren’t necessarily sweet before starting him on the fruits in hopes that he will continue to like the foods that aren’t as sweet…that and all the good fruits will be in season here pretty soon so there will be more to choose from.

Here is a (kind of long) video of Carson trying oatmeal for the first time.

So glad he is doing well with food...Adam has never cared for green beans either.

That's funny...Steve says "Of course he doesn't like green beans...I don't like green beans!" Like that has anything to do with it! :)

Great video. He will love it someday when he is 16 years old. He is a great eater. Keep up the good work.

Love all of the tongue action! They are so funny when they try new foods. :)
