Today Calvin turned 6 months and officially started solids! I've been preparing for these days by making my own baby food. I've pureed carrots, sweet potatos, butternut squash, avacados, mushrooms, bananas, pears, mangos, apples, peas, corn, green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, etc! And this took much preparation as certain fruits are seasonal and others can only be purchased in South Africa. But fortunately, I was able to get all the needed basics of baby foods!
We started him on rice cereal today. He first tasted it, then on his 2nd or 3rd bite he furrowed his eyebrows as if not too sure about what was in his mouth, and then finally had a look of indifference as he ate the rest of his cereal!
Since then he's had some pears and carrots--so far so good. We'll see how he continues to do with some other foods!
