Sweet potatoes won out in the race to be the first veggie in Pierce's repertoire. His primary source of nutrition for his first year will be milk/formula, but solids are fun to explore. We tried veggies for the first time on Sunday and he LOVED them! He enjoyed them on their own and mixed in with cereal, and finished the whole serving (a couple of tablespoons mixed with a couple of tablespoons of rice cereal) even attempting to feed himself. It is so much fun to feed him and watch (and listen to him) enjoying food. Our pediatrician suggested that we stick with one vegetable for a week before introducing another one, so I have a home-cooked store of sweet potatoes for lunch and dinner this week. We're thinking carrots for veggie #2! There are some pictures from the feeding below.
We also set up a foam play area in the living room so that once Piercy starts moving and grooving, he has a soft surface to explore and fall on. Plus the foam is easy to wipe down and clean when kid (and dog!) accidents happen! The textures on the mat are fun to play with which makes tummy time that much more appealing.
