First foods

well, Dylan is 6 months old and on baby food now! We started him on just cereal at 5 months and he was not all that impressed! The first night that we gave it to him, he was really excited and ate a lot. But after that he wasn't that into it. Honestly, I can't blame him all that much. It didn't look too appealing. After 1 month of cereal in the evenings, we decided to start with veggies. He had green beans first and had those at Aunt Jina's house the first time and didn't eat but a few bites. The next night we tried green beans again at home and he finished he container! Since that second night, he has finished the entire container each evening! So far, he has had green beans, sweet potatoes and carrots. We are doing squash tonight and tomorrow. I already need to go back to the grocery store for more veggies! Starting next week I think we will send him food for lunch at daycare! Drew did not eat like this at 6 months! He was barely eating cereal at this point and not nearly enough to replace a bottle! Dylan might be our eater! Of course, you know that I have taken pictures of him eating almost each night!!!!! So, there are pictures below so you can see how well he's eating! He absolutely loves eating food and kicks his feet the whole time he's eating! And you better get that spoon ready for another bite as soon as you take it out of his mouth.
