You can't hold Rhett and eat something at the same time. He watches you like a hawk, leaning in and opening his little mouth. Even while drinking water he makes a grab for the cup. I have given him samples of water which he does quite well with and a little smidgen of a muffin I was eating.
Sunday I was eating a banana and the boy was begging for it! I waited until 6 months old with Max and Kate and was planning on doing the same with Rhett. But he is sooo ready! He has great head control and with his active interest we went for it.
I pinched off a bit of banana, smooshed it and put in his eager little mouth. He loved it of course. Look at those sweet puckered lips. I want to kiss them.
We have since made it "official" by busting out the little rubber tipped spoons, our littlest dishes and bibs.
Oatmeal cereal has been bought, apple prune juice for mixing and I printed off the approved baby food list to refresh my memory on when we can introduce foods.
Rhett adores his oatmeal cereal. I have since added a bit of banana to it. We tried butternut squash yesterday and he wasn't so sure about it. We will keep trying before we introduce another food.
He is adorable. And very vocal right now, here he is talking to me. Sweet baby.
Mmmmmm, tasty.
He gets very excited for his food. We have only been doing it for less than a week and he knows when I am mixing it. He leans in and grabs for it. Love him.
Hopefully this helps him sleep a bit better with naps (longer please?) and at night. Our 15-pound boy is sure to get a bit chubbier now that we are starting solids. More to love and munch on for me!
This boy is just cruising right along, tackling milestones and getting too big for his britches, quite literally!
This morning I laid Rhett on his tummy so he could play while I dressed and diapered Max and Kate. I left the living room, went into the kids' room to gather clothes and came back just in time to see Rhett roll from his tummy to his back and then to his tummy again! Hooray for Rhett! I am so happy I was able to see it and not walk back in a few minutes later and find him 3 feet from where he started. Mr. Big Stuff.

HE is so DANG Precious...love him and love you
Whoa that went by fast...I cant believe that he is already starting solids and rolling over. He probably will do everything quickly because he wants to be with Max & Kate. I love this stage that he is in. I think it is the best from about 4 months until they turn one. And then, although fun, they start to have more of an opinion (at least mine does). He's adorable!
Oh my goodness I love that first picture of you and him! So cute!
Such a darling baby boy!! And getting too big, our babies are!
Oh my gosh, growing up!! What a cute little chunky monkey.
