Not a huge fan of sweet potatoes..
"Where is milk?!!? This is NOT my momma's milk!"
This picture was Will's first taste of sweet potatoes. We decided to try sweet potatoes first since several people have told me that all babies like sweet potatoes and to try out all the veggies first because the fruit will taste much better to them and if you do the fruit first, they will never want the veggies. So we are on Day 2 of sweet potatoes. I will say that today a much better time was had by all during our 2nd attempt. He looked like the picture above both times I fed him yesterday. It was so gross. Today he did so much better. He is actually swallowing now and at 11 he finished 3/4 of the jar and at 6 he ate the whole jar, with minimal spillage on the bib/highchair/face/wall/mommy. We could not stop laughing at him yesterday. Our doctor said that if he is not tolerating it very well to give him a swig of milk in between trying to feed him the sweet potatoes. So we tried that, but it was like he was confused on whether he should try to suck on a nipple or swallow. Changing it up made it worse and so when I would put a spoon in his mouth he would try to suck on it and when I would put the nipple from the bottle in his mouth he would do the opposite, like he was trying to swallow the sweet potatoes. Today we did not have to give him milk in between and that helped us out a ton. We start squash on Tuesday...oh joy!

Oh man cannot wait until these days!
That is hilarious. Danielle started Cade on bannana's first... but that totally makes since about doing the veggies first. I might tell her about that!
Oh my goodness!! It is terrible growing up! I remember giving food to Lyla the first time...we had the same problem! I don't look forward to this stage in a month with Lily...too messy!! They grow too fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have fun with Will! He will love the fruit when you do that. :)
that is funny. he was like that i am sure because he is having to get accustomed to food. owen use to gag all the time and now that we are moving to table food we get the same reaction. it won't take him long to figure out that he likes something other than milk...oh, both my boys love squash!
Wow! I'm impressed with veggies at 4 months. Jack was so deprived....
Brooke, I can just hear Uncle Mike saying.."I'd be ashamed doing that to that baby"...can't you?

love ya, mom
