We started spoonfeeding William a few weeks ago. He had started to show interest in what we were eating and often grabbed my spoon/fork when I was holding him to try and negotiate the contents into his mouth.

He wasn't too impressed with the baby food though, and every night it was a struggle to get a few spoonfulls into him. Right now its just practice anyway, so we weren't too concerned, just hopeful he would eventually take to eating solids. Because of his milk-protein allergy, we started with sweet potatoes which we not a hit, and then moved onto applesauce last week.

Tonight he couldn't get enough of it! He got excited when he saw me get out his bowl and spoon. He eagerly opened his mouth for each bite and cried when the bowl was empty until he watched me put more into it. He polished off that serving too and then I nursed him again to wash it all down.

All in all, I think he took in about 1/4 cup of applesauce and liked it!!
