Tomorrow's A Big Day

It's so hard to believe that Isaac will be 6 months old tomorrow, half a year old! He'll get his first taste of rice cereal in the morning for breakfast! I'm glad we held out this long in starting solids. We have let him taste-test a lot of yummy food during the last month or so, but he has yet to actually eat a meal. We'll start with rice cereal mixed with breastmilk. Chances are, he might not like it. It will be pretty bland compared to the yummy stuff (applesauce, strawberries, ice cream, potatoes, etc.) we've let him eat already. If that's the case,
I'll keep trying the plain cereal for awhile. If he continues to not like it, we'll simply mix in a pureed fruit or veggie! Oatmeal will be next after rice cereal.

I plan to do a mix of homemade food (pureed and then frozen fruits and veggies) along with a line of baby food w/out preservatives (Del Monte's Nature's Goodness). Due to waiting so long to start solids, it won't be too long before Isaac is really just eating whatever we have for meals. He's already a begger... above is the sad puppy dog face he gives us if wants to try what we are eating! LOL

Isaac also goes for his 6 month well-baby check-up tomorrow. We'll get his measurements then! I hope he's still on the chart! :)
