First Food

Since he is growing up, Owen has started eating solids. We started right when he turned 6 months. We wanted to start with a veggie and something easy to eat, so we picked avocado. Owen was not thrilled with that decision. He ended up with more on himself and the highchair than actually in his mouth. Actually that first night I'm not sure any actually got into his mouth. By the 3rd day of it though he was getting some in his mouth while he played with it, but wasn't making an effort to eat it because he didn't really like it. We did sweet potatoes next and once he got that into his mouth he loved it. He still doesn't do a great job of getting food into his mouth all the time, but he does much better with the things he likes.
