Sullivan tried his first 'meat' this weekend. I use the term loosely for chicken and broth baby food in a jar. Looks and smells just like dog food. Sullivan has enjoyed every food he's had so far...until this one. I don't blame him. I wouldn't eat that crap. So, Bailey got to enjoy some pureed chicken and broth. I'm going to have to find the time to make my own meat baby food apparently. Suggestions from other parents out there? I have some ham, beef, and turkey, but I can't imagine those are any better than the chicken. So nasty. So anyways, you can see from his face below, how he felt about it. It was so bad he didn't even want his sweet potatoes or juice after that.
Trying to get the taste out of his mouth:
I finally got Sullivan some shades. They aren't for babies, but he needed something to help when we go for walks/strolls. He looks like he knows he looks good! :)
Sunday we had some co-workers/friends over for lunch. Their son, Alistair, is just 2 weeks younger than Sullivan. (although he should have been 2 weeks older!) Wasn't much of a playdate. For the most part Sullivan stared at Alistair, while Alistair stole whatever toy Sullivan was playing with at that moment.
Worn out from all the playing!
Sullivan may not enjoy chicken, but he LOVES some prunes and carrots! I tried to find him one of those baby art kits, but wasn't able to. He loves to 'finger paint' with his food these days! Messy boy, but oh so happy!
This week already looks like it will be a bad one as far as work is concerned, but I'm trying to keep my eyes on the prize of a long weekend! Can't wait to get down to the Coast Friday night and visit with family in Ocean Springs and Mobile!

OH,he looks like such a big boy is this post! Love the shades! And he has a new high chair. Loves playing in his food, I see. Looking forward to our weekend on the coast with all grandbabies together for a bit. I am truly blessed!
Can not wait to hug him!! He is changing so fast!

just wait until he starts eating the meat sticks...ugh. nasty.
he is getting so big! i can't wait to see him again.
My kids didn't eat meat until later because it was gross pureed. Lulu went straight to sausage (gross) at like 18 months. For protein, I kinda treated them like little vegetarians. THey both LOVED cubed tofu (gross), any canned bean, yogurt (soy is fine if you know he isn't allergic--some babyfood has soy in it), quinoa, wheat germ on applesauce or yogurt. Blah blah blah. Call me if you want to talk. I loved feeding my children healthy. Now they eat Twinkies.
Love,

What a sweetie! And is that Jeff H.?! I did my own meat for the boys and Julia, too. I agree that jar stuff is G-ross gross. Or what Corinne said!
