I originally wanted to wait until Milo was six months to start him on other foods aside from formula. Within this past week he just does NOT seem satisfied with formula. I could literally have a baba in his mouth every hour pretty much… I don’t, I’m just sayin’.  I eat an avocado often with lunch so today as I was mashing it up I put some on the tip of my finger and put it in his mouth. He made a typical bad face the first time. The second time, he scarfed it down. He seemed as though he loved it. While he was sitting in his jumperoo I sat on the couch and ate my lunch and he just watched me the entire time.  Oh did I mention that I’m finally starting to see the signs of actual TEEEEETH! He has to little bulges on his bottom gums. They aren’t white yet but, bulges none the less. He’s been making chewing motions this week also, thats what really prompted me to put a little avocado in his mouth.

So I just got off the phone with Kaiser and they told me that 5 months is ok to start a baby on a few things if they are giving the sides of readiness. Which to me I believe he is. So I got a run down of the do’s and don’ts of first foods. When I told the lady we were planning on making our own food she was beyond excited recommending books to us and stuff. She was great. So this weekend Milo will be five months, and I think we will celebrate his birthday with some pears! I’m super excited to try food out on him. I think he’s going to do great. Mercer and I have been talking so much about this day and we are both so excited to make his food! I think a Saturday trip to Goores is in order to get some feeding supplies and to lust over the stroller I want. I haven’t been since MJ has made his arrival. I love that store!
