We are two weeks away from introducing Davey to a mighty fine food group... meats! Our pediatrician told us not to start meats until Davey is 8 months. I'm looking forward to it... giving Davey a better variety of foods. He has such a healthy appetite... even for veggies and fruits. This morning, after his breastfast (yes, that's breastfast), he ate an entire banana mixed with organic, iron-fortified rice cereal. It was a pretty hefty amount of food but he ate every bit of it. Davey's weight has been right on target. When he turned 7 months, he weighed 18 pounds and measured 27 inches long... putting him near the 50th percentile for his age group. He is still eating homemade baby food... except when we travel... I have my limitations. His favorite food still seems to be pureed sweet apples. He also loves pumpkin sprinkled with cinnamon. He's eating baby oatmeal now, along with ultra-nutritious broccoli and spinach. I'll soon be introducing him to dairy foods like yogurt and certain cheeses. Well, I just heard the little guy... he's waking up from his morning nap. That's my cue. I'll leave you with a couple of cute naked baby pics I took this weekend...
You are like me. Landon makes fun of me, but if I say we are not starting dairy until nine months and my baby is eight months and three weeks, then NO DAIRY!!!! You just never know and I am insane. ;)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the meat. I hope he loves it. My boys were weirded out by the texture but eventually liked it.
Becky wants to come down when you do so lets do it again...
YES! I would love to see Becky and Michelle and you and all the kiddos! My schedule is pretty much open for the next few weeks... so just say the word!
