First (real) food

For nearly six months, Milo has been one happy booby baby. Since he's a couple days shy of the six month mark, we decided to introduce him to his first solid food.

With Collin I was a little more gung ho and introduced solids a month or so earlier. This time,  I wasn't in a rush and the fact that we're cloth diapering also doesn't lend me to be anxious about dealing with the whole poop issue (breast food poop is no big deal, into the washer it can go).

But Milo seemed ready to go beyond his liquid diet. I was also informed that there was no reason to start with cereal so I went straight for bananas this time. Mashed and mixed with a little milk and presented it to Milo via spoon.

Oh yeah, this was one excited baby. He opened his mouth like a pro and again and then decided there was no need for us to hold the spoon, he could do it himself. He ate it all up and once more again for "dinner." I'll do bananas for a few more days and then introduce sweet potato and avocado. Just like with Collin, I'm looking forward to making my own baby food and watching Milo learn about different foods and textures and maybe, hopefully, not being a super picky kid!
