Purees, High Chairs, and Sitting ...Oh My!

Tyler's first meal in his highchair.

 The last couple of weeks have been big for BabyKakes.

• He started eating food. At exactly 5 months and 1 day old. His first meal was a bit of multigrain rice cereal mixed with breast milk. I could go on all day about how you're supposed to introduce food, but I went with my gut. He's had organic sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans and peas, and most recently, apples and strawberries. He loves it all.
• He also ate in his high chair for the first time....which means he's mostly sitting up! Yes, milestones all over the place. Auntie Dani helped me pick out the high chair that was a gift from his BomBon (Hubs' mom). I love having a dedicated place to feed him and am thinking about leaving a basket in the kitchen to hold bibs and washcloths for easy access/cleanup.
• We've also increased his bottles from 4oz to 6oz. He's still supposed to get most of his nutrition from breastmilk/formula, so its nice to pack fewer larger bottles. More food for our greedy guy and less bottles for us to wash. Win-win situation.

Ty is still the sweetest baby and we thank God every day for our little guy who eats like a champ, cries minimally, grins at everyone, and sleeps through the night. We got lucky and we know it.
