More Banana and Stinky Poo!

Noah ate a second helping of banana today - he absolutely loves it! It's lovely to see him very interested in the food and his earnest attempts at gulping it down even as he drools all over his bib, the Bumbo and the floor and ends up spitting up half of what he's eaten because he hasn't quite mastered the art of using his tongue to move the food to the back of his mouth to be swallowed. While I am convinced this has been a good time to start him on solids, I am wary of rushing things along and want him to direct the pace. I'm sure he'll tell us when he's ready for more, like he's always done. 


On a not-so-yummy note, the tiny amount of solids has made a considerable difference to the quality (or lack thereof) of his poo. It is now more solid and has more green than yellow. Not green as in sick green, but just more green than yellow. Yikes, somebody stop me!

Avocado

We tried mushy avocado today, having run out of our trusty bananas. Epic fail. He spat out all of what he was fed and made the dirtiest face I have seen him make in all his four months of age! I hope sincerely that his love for bananas is not to do with only the sweetness - if it is, we are doomed! I am going to persist with the avocado. Watch this space.

Nom, Nom, Nom!

Noah had his first taste of solids today! Yummy squishy banana fed to him in beautiful silver cutlery gifted by his Chitti and Chachan. He seemed to like the taste and kept going for more. He has not quite perfected the art of using his tongue to push the food to the back of his mouth, but is slowly getting the idea. He was seated in his Bumbo chair and lovingly fed by his Mamma, Daddy, Chitti and Chachan in turn. He is a very lucky little boy!
