So last night we gave Bennett his first taste in food. Our doctor advised us to start with veggies, that way he'd be more inclined to eat them- starting out on fruit could spoil him and make him not want the veggies, since fruits are sweet. So we went to the store and picked out a few veggies and decided to start with sweet potatoes first. He loved them!! I had him in his seat and he kept leaning over to get to the spoon! He ate probably 6-10 bites and then was finished with it and wanted some milk. We'll give him some more sweet potatoes tonight (if he ever wakes up!). This is very exciting though! Our little man sure is growing up and he's doing it too fast!!
I'm beginning to wonder who sizes clothes for infants. Bennett is almost 18 pounds, which I don't consider big for his age but he can wear 9 month clothes! I put on a 6 month footed onesie and it was too short for him. Poor thing couldn't straighten out his legs. :) We went clothes shopping tonight for some winter clothes and we bought 12 month stuff so we'd be sure he wouldn't grow out of it before winter was over, at least we hope he won't grow out of it!
We also bought him a jumperoo that hangs in the doorway. I think he'll love that. Maybe this weekend we can let him jump around and see how he likes it. The fair starts tomorrow and I'm looking forward to going and letting Bennett explore the many sites and sounds and smells there. I'm especially excited to show him the animals, like the cows and chickens and ducks. Keep checking back because this month will be full of new experiences, which means lots of pictures!!!!
