Alex loves "real" food. He has tried and conquered rice cereal, sweet peas, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots and bananas. His favorites so far are carrots and bananas. Those of you who have witnessed his forays in to the real food world have seen how excited he gets as soon as he is seated in his highchair and then how demanding he gets when the spoon is not in his mouth fast enough. Yesterday was the first time he had fruit--bananas--and he actually leaned as far forward as he could, grabbed at the spoon, and demanded more food. In the top picture, I had mixed bananas with rice cereal and he freaked out! I would say that has been his favorite.I have researched and checked with my pediatrician and have decided to start making my own baby food for Alex. We will see how long that lasts, but I really want to know what is going in to his food and I want to be able to provide similar foods for him as the foods we eat. Alan can't wait until Alex is old enough that we can puree some Spanish foods for him!
