Nibble Nibble...

(Imagine a photo of a cute baby eating food here)

I am thinking Caleb will start solids in about 17 days...

...a few days after he turns 6 months old.

That is, if I get the okay from his new pediatrician...

...who we will meet with for the first time on the 21st of January.

I am a little nervous.

Caleb has food sensitivities...

and I so want him to be able

to eat...

...with enjoyment

...in fun

...like a little boy should.

A little boy who...

...is having his first bite

of yummy...

...scrumptious

food.

Oh, please...

let him be able to eat!

When we DO take this big step and finally whip out bowl and spoon...

I am thinking his first bites will be one of the following...


a. Avocado
or

b. Yellow Squash
or
c. Sweet Potato

(we are skipping rice cereal altogether, Dr. W says it's more difficult to digest)

Any votes or suggestions?

I am planning to prepare all of Caleb's baby food myself, and to use organic veggies and fruits. I would like as little extra stuff as possible in his little tummy, to lessen the chance of a food sensitivity. Though, I know there may be nothing I can do to prevent a reaction, I just hope that less will be more in this case. We will space out each individual new food we try at least 3 days before introducing a new food, of course. Also, I plan on keeping a food journal for him.

One thing IS for sure...

I have a pretty good hunch that

Caleb is going to LOVE...
...food.

He already gets all arm flappy and makes all sorts of boy noises...
...at just the sight of his daily multivitamin.

Ha!
