Good Eats

Luke loves to eat!! He reaches out eagerly for his bottle when it is presented to him, he cries when we stop to burp him half way through his feeding (as if he doesn't know that we are going to give it back!), and he watches us with such focus as we eat dinner.

Luke began eating solid foods just a few days shy of his 4 month birthday. We just could not hold out any longer, as he was showing signs of readiness several weeks before that. Here is a video of the first time he tried "food".



And, here is what he looks like now when he eats (well...I guess this was taken about a month ago, but you get the idea!). We'd say he's an expert eater!




Our favorite part of watching Luke eat is hearing the noises he makes. It's almost like he's trying to say "yum, yum"!

Luke's diet now includes rice cereal, bananas, pears, sweet potatoes, and avocado. I think we're going to try peaches next since they are in season! We have decided to make our own baby food. Surprisingly, it is a lot easier than you would think!

We can't wait until we can share the joys of pizza and ice cream with our enthusiastic little eater! :)
