Jake's First Solid Food - Part 1

On Friday Jake had his six month check-up. He weighed in a little over 18 pounds and 28 very long inches long! He's in the 90th percentile for height and 75th percentile for weight. Right on track to be a tall healthy boy!

The pediatrician gave us the go-ahead to start Jake on solid foods so today was his first real meal. Grandma Dottie was on-hand to help with the big event. Jake's been ready for a couple weeks for "real" food but we held off until we were done traveling and could focus on doing this right. I swear he knew the big day had finally arrived!

These photos were taken before we started feeding him and I think you can see the anticipation! LOL

Jake took to the rice cereal as if it were prime rib. He had no real trouble swallowing or spitting a ton of it back out. He was so funny, reaching out for more and more! I think he's ready for this solid food thing. So...our life changes yet again! Everyday is different and new. (click on the photos for a better view)

Thanks so much Grandma! That was fun!

Look At That Baby!

Jake has figured out how to suck on his lower lip and he looks so funny! I just had to snap a photo of the crazy kid! A face only a mama could love!
