James does Solids!

Now that our sweet James is six months old, we have gone ahead and introduced him to solid food. Actually he was officially 5 1/2 months, and I only started because he was having some digestive issues.  Solids seem to have done the trick though, and he is muccchhhhhh better. Back to the fun stuff...

James was NOT a fan at first, like most babies, and obviously didn't even know what all was going on. We started with oatmeal (per Dr's orders) and then ventured into prunes, sweet potato, butternut squash, mango's, bananas etc etc etc. 

Unlike his brother, James seems to be a big fan of his veggies. If you recall, Jackson was a HUGE fan of fruit. Quite the opposite with the younger one. James is wayyyy more into sweet peas, butternut squash, carrots, kale, spinach, green beans. You name it. 

I have to say though (because I'm proud of him), Jackson now eats all his veggies and pretty much anything we put on his plate. His healthy eating ebbs and flows but overall he's a good kid and eats what you give him. Whatever it may be. 

But back to the bear cub...We are proud of him too. He has days where he doesn't want to eat a lot and days where he is 'starving' but overall he is happy to try everything. He's such a happy boy :)

Here is James eating some roasted butternut squash I made him. He's a fan of my cooking too! Likes it more than the pouches. These boys don't bite the hand that feeds them ;) 

And because we are on the topic of food, here is a video of Jackson drinking hot chocolate for the very first time. He didn't understand nor like that you had to drink it hot. He isn't a fan of eating hot food (it has to be practically cold before he eats it) so he wanted it to cool down before drinking it. I had to convince him to keep taking sips and ultimately he threw it away himself. He's such a diva.
