First Foods for Ethan

We began Ethan on solid foods this past weekend. He is 5 months, 1 week, so we figured it was time to start (Olivia was 3 weeks younger when we started her). Yummy rice cereal! At least, we are attempting to convince him of that. We are battling 3 things right now with solid foods - it is yucky rice cereal, he has a cold so he probably isn't tasting anything, and it is yucky rice cereal. He takes a few bites and then will turn his head away or scream, but it usually goes a bit better if we use 2 spoons - one for him and one for us. My prediction is that he will not be as good of an eater as Olivia is, but Ethan may surprise me.

The first bite - he's not too sure about what is happening.


Ethan's had a few bites and is still happy. He just looks so little in the highchair!

Feeding has ended yet he continues with his favorite thing in the world - chewing on things. He has been doing that since birth. I don't think we'll ever know when he is truly teething!

The next morning Olivia wanted to feed Ethan as well. She is a very helpful big sister!
