First foods.

Our Little Eater.... 
Lincoln tried his first real food a week or so a go{at 4 1/2 months) and Loved it!! 
He started with Oatmeal.... made a huge mess.
Next tried banana.... gobbled that right up.
And also enjoyed his first Sweet Potato. 
He loves it all--The first bite he always spits out but after that he eats so fast that I honestly can't get it in his mouth fast enough. His favorite is banana. The first time I gave it to him I smashed about a half banana up and mixed it with a little breastmilk.   I am pretty sure he would have eaten more than just the half if I gave it to him. He is so funny because I barely have time to get another scoop in the spoon before he starts to whine because he wants more.  It's pretty funny.  I really hope that he continues to be such a great eater.  I think next on the list we'll try something like peas or carrots- something not quite as sweet and see how he does.  I love that he is starting real foods.. makes for a more fun meal time than just drinking out of the bottle!

Hannah LOVES fruits. She'll eat veggies, but she clearly likes the fruits much better.
