Our Little Sweet Potato

I am happy to report that Crosby is now eating solid foods (or at least mushy baby foods)! It has been frustrating for the past month and a half to try to get Crosby to eat baby food from a spoon. First I tried rice cereal, then warm rice cereal, then oatmeal, then apples, pears, and bananas, but Crosby remained tight-lipped every time that spoon approached! He was like a locked vault. Finally, last week I decided to give sweet potatoes a try, but thought why would Crosby go for sweet potatoes when he didn't like the sweet fruits? Well, I almost cried when that cute little mouth opened up for MORE after that first bite! Yay!!! He's so messy and likes to put his fingers in his mouth right after each bite. He's also enjoyed eating prunes mixed with cereal (which helps his little digestive system adjust to all of these new solid foods).
