My baby loves sweet potatoes! yes, I know it seems a little early, but the child is just tired of his bottle. I am in no way kidding you on this. I will go to give him a bottle and I know he's hungry, and he will flat out refuse to drink the thing! You should see the little dance and song I have to preform just to get his attention off of the fit he is having and direct his attention to the wonderful big bottle of food! It is really a mind boggling sight. Now, don't get me wrong, it doesn't happen at every feeding...but it's enough to make me reevaluate what's going on. So, instead of trying to fight him on his four o'clock bottle, I decided that sweet potatoes should do the trick. And, they did successfully. Because Jack has reflux, he has always had cereal in his bottles, this has also allowed me to mix up some thick, milkshake like bottles and feed him just cereal before. Feeding him with a spoon was not too much of a concern of mine. I just don't want my baby growing up so fast. It has become clear to me that he is really just bored with his little bottle. Bless his heart. So, we are extremely excited about the new experience of tasting a different kind of food! Yummy!

It doesn't seem early at all to me because we're doing the same thing! Emma loves applesauce, carrots, pears, and sweet potatoes. I'm going to fry her up a big, fat, juicy steak before too much longer. Okay, just kidding on that last one :). I hope everything's going great!
Yay Jack!! He IS growing up too fast! He looks so much like Kendall in this picture!
