Well, we are officially a three solid meals a day baby! As of about two weeks ago, Carter, you began eating breakfast (cereal and fruit), lunch (vegetable), and dinner (more cereal and a fruit or veggie).
We actually had no intention of starting you on all this solid food yet, but little stinker, you are stubborn as all get out and are O-V-E-R your formula. (Daddy says he knows where that stubborness came from...I deny it.) It takes quite a bit of convincing (and sometimes singing) to get you to eat your bottles, so Dr. Uncle Rob suggested we move you to three meals a day of food to keep you growing well. You can't get enough food!
The only thing you've really turned your nose up at so far is peaches...other foods you've enjoyed are rice cereal, bananas, apples, sweet potatoes, pears, squash, green beans, peas, prunes, and oatmeal. We plan to try yogurt and some meats in the next month. I'm hoping that on Thanksgiving, we can give you your own version of turkey, sweet potatoes, and green beans. It's just so festive and fun to have you eating real food with us! We go see the pediatrician tomorrow morning for your 6-month appointment, so I'll be back tomorrow with your official stats. I'm estimating at least 75th percentile for everything..you are a BIG BIG boy!
Good for him! Madelyn will only eat sweet potatoes and cereal!
