"I don't know about this..."Video of Noah eating his very first green beans.
Later as I was cleaning Noah's room and putting his clothes away, I set him on his big teddy bear and Kona was really excited to come say hi!
Beginning to be best buds.
Comfy Noah on the big bear.I wanted to try and put these two pictures side by side, but I couldn't figure it out. But it's crazy what a difference 3 months make!!

So, the solid food thing is going pretty good so far. There are so many different opinions on what to do first, what time of day, how much, etc....I was wondering if any of you moms had any advice on the whole solid food thing? We started with rice cereal (which he loved), then proceeded to green beans (which he did NOT love) and just yesterday we tried bananas (which surprisingly he didn't like much either).
Some say start with sweet (fruit or sweet potatoes) because it's most similar to breastmilk; others say start with veggies because it might be harder to get them to accept them later. I had no idea so we just went for it! We would try a couple spoonfuls first of the green beans or bananas, until he just wouldn't take it. I was then successful adding it to his rice cereal, so that's what we're doing now. Any advice??
Hey Emily... For Levi I always gave him a week (probably longer than necessary) before introducing something new, and taking things slower worked for him. I would over the course that week mess with the ratio of food to rice cereal. So I'd start out with mostly rice cereal and add just a little bit of green beans (what we started with) and then by the end of the week have about half and half. We started with veggies because I wanted him to eat them... he took fruits NO PROBLEM... but he did prefer peas to the green beans. But, every baby is different, my biggest piece of advice would be to not ignore your instincts. The Lord matched you as a mommy with Noah as a baby, so I'm sure He took your instincts into great consideration, don't be afraid to trust them! Looking forward to more fun pictures and stories!
