Starting Solids

Logan is now a little over 5 months old, so I have been thinking about when to start him on baby food. I remembered reading like a checklist of thing you baby is doing which might mean they are ready for solids when Chloe was a baby. So I googled it to see if I could find it. A checked a few websites, most of them said the same thing, here's what I found:

•can sit up with support
•can hold head up straight when sitting
• is a ble to turn head toward or away from food
•seems to be interested in food when others are eating
•opens mouth when offered a spoon
•seems as though baby eats a lot more often/not satisfied with just liquids
•tries to grab at utensils when someone else is eating 

These seven things were just the main ones that I found on multiple websites that I checked out, these are mostly all true with Logan so I decided that I am going to try to start solids with him and see if he is interested. Chloe was about 5 and a half months of when she started. When I'm holding Logan while eating he opens his mouth when I take a bite and tries to get my utensils. Plus he can sit supported with holding his head straight and can turn his head. 

When Chloe started on solids I either made her baby food or bought the organic, which it what I plan to do with Logan as well. Though I'm going to try to make most of it. Now that I know I want to try Logan on solids this weekend I'm deciding what I want his first foods to be. Chloe's first foods were avacdo and rice cereal. There are a few foods that I read that are recommended to be baby's first foods.

- Banana
- Green Beans
- Sweet Potatoes
- Peas
- Squash
- Carrots
- Apple
- Pear
- Avacodo 

Chloe had all of these except for beans, bananas and pear. I haven't decided yet which I'm going to give Logan first. I know that I'm probably going to make his food myself though. I found some good recipes and I plan on sharing them to so I can let you guys know how they turn out and so you can try them too!

Spring Time Tag

I haven't done a tag lately, really I haven't done much posting at all. With the end of the school year nearing the end I have been pretty busy. Between that and work I haven't had too much time to sit down and write. I have going to really try and make an effort to get posts out more regularly again though. So stay tuned! 1. Spring means glowing skin, what do you do for healthy glowing skin? Sunscreen? Haha, I don't really use anything else, usually just a tinted face cream with SPF 30 in it. 2. What is the first beauty thing you think of when the weather warms up? Letting my hair dry out in the breeze, it is always so soft and wavy when I do that.  3. What is your favorite part of spring?
