Solid Foods...a new adventure!

We were given the "all clear" to start solid foods from the doctors, so our "real food" experiment has begun!

First, we started with the regular rice cereal with formula. Marek seemed interested in eating with a spoon, but did not seem to like the taste. In true Swanson fashion, however, he would NEVER turn down an opportunity to eat!

After a few failed attempts at rice cereal, he started to get the hang of moving his tongue and swallowing.

Marek also realized that eating solid foods is  hard work!



 After a chance appointment with his new pediatrician, we were given a push to attempt new foods.

Well, sweet potatoes won out! Marek made a huge mess, but seemed to like the new texture and taste. Our little "peanut" may not stay little with all these exciting new things to eat!
