YUMMERS!

On November 15, I started Dakota on Rice Cereal and he LOVED eating. I had noticed that a few days before this he was really watching us eat so I thought it might be time for him to start eating too.
I don't think he loved the Rice Cereal so much as within a week he refused to eat it. I tried adding Applesauce and that made it tolerable, but he didn't really love that either.
As you will see whenever Dakota does anything new it is a family event, as none of us want to miss a thing!! We think he is SO amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The picture of me feeding him, is of his very 1st feeding. The picture of Emily is round two, on that same day, 11/15.

Here is Dakota when he finished is very 1st feeding - he is SO proud of himself, what a cutie! And here is his daddy, just as proud of his eating boy!

More recently I decided to go cold turkey-straight to Veggies and Fruits since Dakota didn't seem to like anything mixed with the cereal and he LOVES it!!! He likes Green beans and Carrots just fine but Sweet Potatoes and Peas are his favorites, and it is confirmed now that he surely dislikes Applesauce.

Here is a picture of Dakota on Thanksgiving Day, trying Sweet Potatoes for the very 1st time. Yummers!!

Last Friday (12/4), Dakota realized that opening his mouth helps me feed him and now every time I sit down to feed him, I tell him "Open" and he does, lol!!!
