Parker tried his first food this past week. I started with rice cereal and he hated it. He was actually gagging a little! So I decided to move onto sweet potatoes, and he loved them! I waited a little longer to give him food than I did Aidan. I would've liked to have waited until six months, but he started getting hungrier in between feedings faster than usual so I thought it was time. Almost five months is not so bad. The doctor told us we could start at four, but I just wanted to wait as long as possible! Obviously, by his size he was getting everything he needed without any food! Ha! He is a BIG boy! I try not to be so rigid and by the book with Parker. I believe that if you just watch your baby they will let you know what they need, and he was definitely ready for food. He scarfed it down! At his four month checkup he weighed 19 pounds 4 ounces, and was 25.5 inches long. That is above 95% in weight and 78% in height! James and I always laugh and say he'll probably end up being the smallest kid in his class! I went to the grocery store tonight and stocked up on some more baby food! I think next on the menu is green beans. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because Aidan hated them as a baby. The funny thing is he loves them now! Can't wait to see how it goes! I just love being a mom! Who knew I would ever be excited over green beans!
Poor thing. His neck was way to big for the bib!
Time to clean up! I think he looks like James when he smiles! So cute!

I love the last picture! He is such a happy, sweet baby. I loved holding him last weekend. I've heard that starting food isn't quite as fun with the second one because it is something else you have to do :)
