Solid Foods

Unfortunately, this won't be a post filled with cute pictures of Lawson's first time eating solid foods. We haven't started them yet. :) We had originally planned to wait until 6 months, which is in line with the AAP's new guidelines for solid foods, but now I'm thinking we may not make it that long. We may start at 5 months or a little after. Lawson is eating like CRAZY this week. He has upped his milk intake by 6-7 ounces per day. I am giving it a couple of weeks to see if it is just a growth spurt and if it passes. If not, we will probably begin solids. He is showing readiness in every way except his age (not 6 months yet).

Chris got me the Baby Bullet for my birthday, and I plan on making all of Lawson's baby food at home. After researching it, I just am not comfortable with additives, sugars, and other unknown things that could be in jarred baby foods (even organic!), not to mention the cost savings! We plan to start Lawson off with organic brown rice cereal, sweet potatoes, and avocado...yum! I will definitely be posting pictures and details once that time comes.

If you are interested, I would highly recommend checking out wholesomebabyfood.com. That website is amazing and has lots of great information and recipes for making baby food. The spinoff site, wholesometoddlerfood.com, is pretty cool too!

Lawson's high chair is set up and ready to go! I plan to have him sit in it with us during dinner times these next few weeks to get him used to it.

Here are some cute random photos of my sweet little man! Happy Monday!
