First time eating REAL food (well baby food)

So, Schaefer had his 4 month old Dr.'s appointment yesterday and she said we could start food! He is such a big little kid. He is 19 lbs. and 27.5 inches long. Because of his size, she doesn't want us to put him on cereal but start right with the yellow veggies!

So what better veggie to start with then SWEET POTATOES!!


He was totally ready for his new adventure... and LOVED to put his fingers in it!


His first bite was interesting. He was too sure how to handle the spoon and the taste kind of shocked him!


However, he QUICKLY started to understand that if he moved his hand and opened his mouth he would get the yummy stuff!


After a few minutes of eating it like a PRO, he was ready to start helping daddy... or what he thought was feeding himself :)




He won the spoon battle and got to attempt to feed himself. TOO CUTE!!
Good Job Schaefer-dilla!!


He would have easily ate more than what we gave him. He would whine a bit when he didn't get the spoon back. However, the Dr. told us only a little to start with. He was totally a FULL and HAPPY baby!!



MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!



This video will give you a better understanding of the fun time Collin and I had feeding our little monster :) We can't wait to try more foods with him and see what he likes. We are going to attempt a sippy cup next!!
