Damien Eats His First Solid Food

Damien was cleared to start solids at his four month check-up. He has been watching mom and dad eat with great interest and the doctor thought it would help with his reflux. Skipping rice cereal due to the fact that it can compound constipation issues, Damien started off with some oatmeal cereal and sweet potatoes. Boy was he shocked at first with the new tastes. He loved eating. His favorite part, getting the food all over his hands and sucking on them. Yum. Since this first food exploration, Damien has been eating once a day most days and having some oatmeal cereal and now pears, carrots, peas, squash, peaches and mangos. His favorite appears to be the mangos. He just loves to eat though, and happily opens his mouth for each bite.

Wow, this is strange, but I like it.
