First Foods!

Oh, how could I forget? On Saturday we started giving Elias food!! Of course, only what I'm able to eat. We decided to go with 'Baby Led Weaning' as our method of feeding. Here is their website if you want to check it out! A few of the reasons we chose to do it this way is because we want to be able to eat with him, instead of feeding him and then feeding ourselves. It also makes things quite a bit easier! I won't have to puree a bunch of extra stuff! I've also been reading the book, and a lot of the pros make SO much sense. So far it has been a blast! He is really enjoying feeding himself!

Here are a few photos!

The avocados were a little slippery!

Nom nom nom...

Here he is eating a spear of zucchini!  

Sweet potatoes were a definite hit!

So far he's eaten avocado, sweet potato, zucchini, yellow squash, and pears! Oh, and he ate almost all of each thing I gave him today! I didn't expect him to eat so much so quickly! I guess that's why he's a healthy 18 pounds!
