Tonight Alex tried his first 'real food'... cream of wheat! Dr. Kevin told us that Alex can try all sorts of foods now that he can control his head. We thought there would be certain foods to stick with or to avoid, but that's not the case at all! We can feed him anything (except straight peanut butter due to stickiness or honey due to botulism). Dr. Kevin told us we could feed him anything that's blended.... he said, "Pizza with water all blended up is good too." We were shocked and so happy to learn that Alex will be able to taste all types of foods. Milk is for nutrition right now and other foods are to help him develop taste. And we learned that when babies make faces like "ew", it's often just a face and they will most likely keep eating whatever it is that caused them to make that face in the first place. Interesting huh?
Here's a clip of his first cream of wheat adventure!
