Ok, so I am a couple of days late on this one. On Dec 20th, the day before Jaxs' 6 month, we started him on rice cereal. Following our doctors advice, she says that at this age giving food to Jax is strictly for entertainment purposes and so he can learn the swallowing reflex. So, Rice cereal was our choice. We decided to start solids because for some time now Jaxson has been watching us while we eat and stares intently at the spoon and follows it as it goes from the plate to our mouth. He will even open his mouth as we put the spoon in our mouth. A couple of days ago, we were eating french fries and as expected Jax would follow the fry as it went from the ketchup to my mouth. For the first fry, Jax looked a little upset that he was not getting any. On the next fry, he got a little more frustrated. Eventually by the 5th fry, Jax was crying. So, I guess its time he gets something other than milk. The doctor says that Jaxson recognizes that he is one of us, but he doesn't understand that he is little and can't do everything by himself, so when we are eating french fries for example, he doesn't understand why he is not included and shows his frustration. So, he took the rice cereal pretty well. Its really liquidy, so its not really eating. He took right on to the spoon, opening his mouth as the spoon got close. He did ok with the swallowing, but for the most part he just swished it around in his mouth. Overall, he did well wth his first feeding. Next meal will probably be avacado, we will put an update up from that when we do it.
