Nick's First Solids...

Well, we didn't listen to the doctor totally. We did try to start feeding him solids at around 4 months but we decided to start Nicholas on banana's instead of cereal. Which is what I read was a better first food then the cereal you can buy -- there is more nutritional value in it.

We tried to let him feed himself, which didn't happen. He had no idea what to do, so I tried to help him out a bit. He didn't eat much of it, but it was fun. We ended up with banana every where (all over his face, all over the high chair, every where). The video of this first feeding will be added to the site shortly, we just have to wait for Dad to get the video off the camera and onto the computer. Hopefully this happens soon.

We have since decided to not feed him any more solids until he is at least 6 months. He is showing a little bit of interest in eating, but refuses to eat anything you try to give him. Maybe in a little bit, he will be showing more interest and want to eat the food more.
