I know I posted a few weeks about the silver boob award, but I was so excited about being able to breastfeed Wyatt a total of (now) 6 months! My recent post about Wyatt eating solid foods, well I did take a picture yesterday! Well, quite a few actually. I made sweet potato for this week for him to try and I've been sending it off to daycare. I unfortunately (but fortunately) was home Tues. through Thurs. because I was sick and Wyatt had a Doc appt. on Thurs. On tuesday He didn't have any solid food as I nursed him as much as I could because of the fact that I wanted him to have my antibodies my body was producing. He doesn';t have my cold. He has the sniffles, but that was before I got sick. Anyway, I did feed him some sweet potato on Thursday though. I think he's gotten used to how he's being fed with a spoon! After a few spoon tries (I was feeding him the sweet potato with his spoon), he started reaching out for his spoon. At first I would try to distract his hand someplace else, but he just did not want to. Then next thing I know, he grabs the spoon!
Later that day we went to his well checkup doctors appointment. He now weights 17lbs 0.6oz and 26 1/4" long! So he gained about a pund in 2 months and grew almost 2". His doc was asking me if he started solids. I told him he started a few weeks ago. And when I mentioned that Wyatt took the spoon from me and started feeding himself, he was erally surprised. He was saying that babies don't quite learn how to do that until they're almost a year. And then he called Wyatt a genius! After he was checking Wyatt, he picked him up and had this surprised look on his face that Wyatt was quiet. Then he said to Wyatt "Ok, now is mommy giving you cheetos?" haha! I LOVE Wyatt's Ped. It helps out a lot that he was also daddy's ped too.
OH, FYI, his shirt says "Lock up your daughters" for those wondering :-)
