I dont think he knew what was happening and quickly thrust out his tongue when the oatmeal got in his mouth. Then the hands went into the mouth and then all over his face as evidenced by the oatmeal on his forehead and his eyelashes. After this attempt, we tried one more time and gave up after the gagging began. When we went to his 4 month check up, the nurse laughed at me when i said we tried oatmeal. She said vegetables are the way to go because nobody likes oatmeal! So.....
Carrots it is! And although this face doesnt show it, he LOVED them! Yay for veggies! He gobbled them up and made a complete mess and he finally is getting the hang of swallowing the food and not just wiping it across his face. And i have learned a few things too for my own sanity. Cloth bibs and clothes are out, naked baby and wipeable bibs are in....
We definately have reached the fun age and we are loving it everyday. I must say i have no idea how people who work 5 days a week do it. There arent enough hours in the day for all that has to get done. I decided long ago that i would make my own baby food and invested in a Baby Brevva which is an awesome baby steamer and puree machine in one. Between feeding Liam his bottles, making his veggies, feeding him his veggies, naps, tummy time, and everything else...i am exhausted by the time i think about laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc...but i wouldnt trade it for the world! Cant wait to see what we are eating by next post!
