Half Birthday and Solids

Khaim celebrated his six month birthday this month!! Bradley made him this shirt in honor of the occasion.



Instead of cake, Khaim had his first real solids - avocado! Introducing solids has been one of the most difficult things so far. Our pediatrician suggested introducing solids as early as 2 months. It didn't feel right so we waited. Bradley and I did hours of reading to decide when to introduce, how much and what - but there was no consistent research about anything. We finally introduced rice cereal at 5 and half months and "real food" at 6 months. So far, he hasn't been too excited about any of it. He has had avocado, banana and carrots - he seems to like carrots the best.
