So I called Samantha into the kitchen, mashed up an organic banana (I try to begin with as many organic fruits and vegetables as I can) and grabbed my camera to document the first meal.
If the look on his face is any indication, Jimmy wasn't quite sure what to think:
Pausing to look at me with the biggest/brightest blue eyes EVER, as if to tell me that the banana was semi-satisfying:
Yup, he was a fan of it after a single taste.
Let's take a moment here to note the stark difference in eye color below. Sam's are a gorgeous brown color and Jimmy's are a stunning blue. I am so sure that his will stay blue ... and that makes me smile because it will mean that I will have a brown-eyed girl and brown-eyed boy (Samantha and Jack) and a blue-eyed girl and blue-eyed boy (Sophia and James). How perfect.
Still enjoying those bananas:
Licking it off the bib:
It was only a half of a banana, but Jimmy decided that he needed a little water to wash it down:
It was then that Sophia rounded the corner and wanted to help:
And, of course, Jack did not want to feel left out! I think that my heart nearly doubled in size when I saw Jack (the sweetest big brother that ever lived) helping to feed James.
Since then, we have slowly introduced a few solids and there isn't one that Jimmy doesn't like, yet. He has solids about twice a day, sometimes only once, as he still relies heavily on breastmilk for his nutrition. I make all of the foods myself and try to maintain a little texture to them so that he will transition to other "table foods" more easily down the road.
I am so excited for this new milestone with little one and even more excited that it is happening during the summer when produce is in abundance!
