Thank you sweet potatoes!

I did his hairdo with the sweet potatoes that he put in his hair.  Ha!
We have been feeding Thomas solids now for about 3 weeks, but he has honestly eaten about 5% of it.  We have tried brown rice, oatmeal, avocado, peas, green beans and bananas.  Thomas has either spit it out, played with it, blew bubbles on the spoon, eaten the bib instead, made funny faces or just kept his mouth closed.  Well that was until today!  The sweet potatoes are the ticket!  Thank you Thomas for finally eating something that mommy has prepared you.  :-)  He was opening his mouth, swallowing it and looking for more.  He ate almost a 1/4 of a cup today which may not seem like a lot, but when you were lucky to get a teaspoon in his tummy, that is a lot.  We are so happy and relieved that Thomas can eat, I was getting a little nervous.  We just need to figure out what our little baby boy likes.

Thomas isn't really drinking out of his sippy cup, he just plays with it as you can see.  He does know how to suck on it, but when he does he just spits it out.  Silly boy!
