First Solid Foods

Before Nick Tried His New Food

First Taste of Rice Cereal

YUMM :0)

Nicholas had his 4 month checkup on Tuesday. He weighs 15 pounds and is 25 inches. He hit a major growth spurt since his last appointment. Nick’s pediatrician said that it was time to start him on solid foods. We start with Rice Cereal and then add new foods (like those yummy peas and carrots...haha) every 4-5 days. I can’t believe that it is time for solid foods…he’s growing up too fast!! The appointment went well until it was time for the shots. I thought it wouldn’t be as bad as the last time, but I was wrong!! You see, Nicholas cries tears now, so it was 100 times worse!!! He was fine when the doctor was in with him. He was smiling, laughing, and playing with the doctor. But, the minute the nurse came in with the shots, he went crazy. He was screaming and flailing all over the place. So, it was horrible. I even had to walk him around for a few minutes before I could even get him in his seat. I had to hold him pretty much the whole day because he was feeling so bad :0( I had my first Pampered Chef show since I had Nick that night, so John took over holding him when I left.

We waited until today to try solid foods with Nicholas since he was still feeling pretty bad yesterday. I didn’t want to mess him up even more. It went pretty much how I thought it would. Nick really didn’t know what to do with the new food or the spoon. He really didn’t care for the Rice Cereal this morning, but we are going to try it again tonight. He kept pushing the food out of his mouth…it was pretty cute (aren’t you SHOCKED that I though something Nicholas did was cute!? :0)

We met with the hand surgeon today. Luckily, I DO NOT have to have surgery :0) I just need to go to physical therapy. WAHOOO Hope you like the pictures!! More soon…
