Whenever I talk to Gran about what Asante is doing, she is always so excited, and says "He is getting the hang of it!" This statement could not be more true of Asante eating solid foods :-)
We started him on rice cereal on Tuesday, the 27th of November. He didn't hate it, but just didn't know what to do with it. After a few minutes of us trying to get him to "eat" he had had enough! The next few days he did better, but still wasn't sure about what we were trying to do. My mom suggested using our finger instead of a spoon, and that made a huge difference. Asante isn't so good with change, and I think all of it was too much at once. He did a lot better when I used my finger, because it was more like play time! He still only ate a little before he got tired.

After Asante's 4 month check up (December 4th) we tried out regular baby food. It was perfect timing, because Grammy sent us a baby bullet to make our own baby food. We read about what foods are best for first time eaters, and decided we would start with bananas. He liked bananas much better, and after just a few times he ate a whole serving!

We are taking it slow, and he is really "Getting the hang of it".
