California Baby

Prior to meeting my pediatrician, Dr. Dana, we had never heard of babies kicking off their introduction to solids with lentils.  She says lentils are a natural source of iron (a primary ingredient in rice cereal) and will also help Jack develop a refined palette.  Dr. Dana encouraged mommy to cook with flavors like olive oil, garlic and onions.  She went on to suggest mommy try feeding me root veggies like yams and sweet potatoes ahead of our 6month visit.  Her goal is to have me eating the same food mommy and daddy eat by 10months old.  Well, this California baby gave it a go....

 Mmmm... I think I will attack the bowl.  Not too bad for the first night of solid food.

I sure am growing up.  I heard my cousin Jacob started on baby oatmeal so I tried that the last two nights and think I may like it better.

Grandma is planting this California baby his very own veggie garden!
