Sullivan has ventured into the messy world of baby food! Under the advisement of our Pediatrician, we started him with a nice green veggie instead of a lovely fruit. Although he would make a face when we switched from cereal to peas, he really didn't seem to mind it much that first day. By the third day, he actually seemed to prefer the spoonful of peas over cereal?! Daniel did the feeding for this first time, hence the no bib and gigantic mess. Sullivan also wants to stick his hand in his mouth every time the spoon is coming. We should have no problems when it's time for him to start picking up foods to eat. He knows hand to mouth = food!
He's had a bit of a stuffy nose this week, so might not have been the best time to determine how he likes peas, but no hives or noticeable adverse reactions! I think I will switch to something nice like carrots or sweet potatoes for our second veggie. Doesn't seem fair to stick him with two green veggies in a row! As recommended, we are doing 3-4 days of a single veggie (or fruit) to make sure there are no allergies, etc. Going to take us a while to get through all the different kinds of fruits and veggies we bought, but is all for the best. I've got to get MY veggies in the ground this weekend, so I can start making some homemade baby food! I'm really going to try and get some new video this weekend if I can figure out how to hide to catch him performing!
P.S. to any of you that haven't received a thank you note from me, I apologize. I just re-remembered a stack of thank you notes I wrote and never mailed while I was on maternity leave because I needed addresses! So if you get one and it talks about Sullivan from like 3 months ago, I'm super sorry! Better late than never, right? Happy Friday!

Haha, Daniel, you are a messy feeder! Love the last photo.
Oh my! What a mess!
What wonderful photos of his face full of food! Save them for his prom date in 17 years.
