We started our solid food quest in earnest upon returning from San Diego. Armed with a new high chair, we were ready for battle! On Monday, Zach finally ate solid food for the first time. We have been trying for about 6 weeks, and all he has done is spit it back out at us. I tried carrots on Monday and he actually seemed interested and there was less remaining in the bowl then when I started! Since then he has become a carrot eating machine, finishing off about 2 jars a day. He still doesn't like oatmeal and has very little use for green beans.
This whole process is obviously very messy. He gets the food EVERYWHERE, no matter how diligent I am about wiping him, his hands, his face, etc, etc, etc. He is absolutely adorable when he is eating, though, and it is fun to watch him discover new tastes.

dude! he is totally adorable!!! :) he's gotten so big! Nia is huge too of course - and JUST YESTERDAY decided that this whole solids thing might be a good idea ;) after, like you, many weeks of trying and barely swallowing anything because it ends up all over her when she spits it out ;) She also did not like rice cereal at all, wasn't all that into oatmeal, but sorta liked the peas, and then last night, liked the green beans, and actually ate it ALL plus MORE, AND ate ALL her oatmeal!!!! I'm amazed! :) hope all is well - Meg
