We gave him some rice cereal for the first two weeks or so and he has since tried peas, and sweet potatoes (jars from the store). He really likes the food and it is fun to feed him, it is however an adventure in messiness! He gets the food all over his face and you better push his sleeves up before you start (notice in the video, we were rookies and the sleeves are down)!
What's going on?
Mommy feeding Eli.
Daddy feeding Eli.
Comin' in.
Eli really likes to help you feed him. He will grab the spoon as you bring it toward him. He also likes to hold the spoon in his mouth so he can suck on it a little bit.

Ooh!
Good to the last drop.
Sucking helps swallowing.
Messy messy.
Keep it comin'.
Clean up.
Clean up!?!?
I like cereal on my hands!
His first feeding was an exhausting adventure.
Last night Andrea was using our little food grinder to make him some homemade peas and sweet potatoes. Eli liked the sweet potato but not the peas. We should have known he would not like the peas because we did not like them either. We like to buy generic but have learned a few times that some generics aren't worth it... Walmart frozen peas.... DEFINITELY not worth it!!!! He was making some crazy disgusted faces! Sorry Eli!
