Big Eater


Oh, oh here is he comes. Watch out food he'll chew you up! Oh, oh here is he comes. He's a big eater! If you love 80's music, then you might recognize my creative changes to the 80's hit.

Still nursing and supplementing with formula was what I had been doing, but our little man seemed ready for food. He was sitting up with help and literally grabbing at everything when we ate. After our 4 month appointment, Dr. Nguyen thought Max's appetite was very healthy and she gave us the go-ahead to start with solids.
We started with rice cereal....he liked it. We tried sweet potatoes....he loved it. Carrots, squash, bananas, oatmeal cereal...liked it. With all these solids, I think his digestive system was a bit overwhelmed. Without being too gross, lets just say, prunes came next. Whew...what a relief. HE LOVES PRUNES, and thank goodness because they help his little tummy digest food.
His little face has started to fill out so much since he has been eating solids. He usually enjoys eating the food, he thinks its fun. One problem we have encountered is that he loves to blow bubbles, and kind of spit. Well, when he eats and gets excited he likes to do the same thing. So we have to be careful, or we'll end up with a face full of food!
Till next time.... Team Terral signing off!
