Lunch anyone?

SO we've been giving Calder solids...veggies and rice cereal, for a couple of weeks now. We actually started before his lip surgery, but then had to wait for a bit while his lip healed. Now he is back to eatin' like a big boy! He's had, and loves, sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, and yellow squash/corn.

The fun about feeding little man is the fact that everything that goes in his mouth pretty much comes out his nose! Since his palate is still open, food and milk that don't make it down his throat just have nowhere else to go. :( I think it bothers him a little, but sneezes seem to clear it out pretty quickly.

He has also sort of developed his own little way of clearing it, that gets a good laugh, he closes his mouth and just blows it right out of his nose! Once again, I'm amazed at how adaptable he is, and how even after a big mess comes out, and he FUSSES like a mad when I wipe it, he ends up smiling.

I've been dying to try puffs and yogurt melts...even though they are for independent sitters/crawlers, but he is just so darn close to doing both! He's sitting pretty well, but hasn't quite figured out how to get to his tummy gently yet. :) Usually dumps himself over sideways or right on his face! We are getting there...

So, enjoy the food pictures, I'm sure there will be more to come!
