Connor's first food!

We got the approval to start solids with Connor at his 4 month appointment but after remembering how much of a struggle it was with Mason at that age I had intended to wait a little longer. But lately tiny man has been wanting to nurse all the time and seems to be eyeing our food a lot so I thought I would go ahead and give it a try! We chose to start with sweet potatoes and he did pretty well!

Here he is about to take the first bite!

Hmmm really mom??

I'm not quite sure what I thought about that....

Actually I think I liked it!

Mason was very excited for Connor and had to help! He is so cute because when Connor does something new I will tell Mason, "Connor is a big boy now!" Mason always follows this up by asking "Is he walking yet?" I guess he associates being a big boy with walking. It will be so cute to see his reaction when Connor does start walking! This pic is a little blurry but you can see by Connor's face how excited he was to have Mason feeding him. (FYI we are trying to choose paint for our kitchen so please excuse the multi-colored walls!)

After a while Connor lost interest and just wanted to play with the spoon. :-)

Then he decided that his feet taste much better than sweet potatoes!
