Three Teeth!

8/4/11
Will is cutting three teeth at once right now! He's been such a trooper, I'm sure his top gum is really sore! When they're all in he'll have five teeth, two on bottom and three on top. Chomp away Will!

We've started making our own baby food. So far we've made banana puree, applesauce, and cherry-blueberry puree. His favorite is still banana. This weekend I'm going to make some veggies for him and if I get real ambitious, some chicken!

He's tried the following grains so far: rice, oatmeal, wheat, and barley. Barley is the only one that upset him. He's tried the following fruits: bananas, apples, pears, various berry combos, and prunes.

UPDATE:
Last weekend I made a ton of baby food! It was very easy using my Beaba Baby Cook. I made carrots, zuchini, peaches, apple-bluberry, and chicken. We gave him the chicken and zuchini Saturday night for dinner, which turned out to be a totally different texture than what he was used to. He did not like it very much at first, we mixed in some Gerber first foods peas to smooth out the texture enough for him to tolerate it. He's enjoyed the chicken dinner each night since then. Sunday evening I made "baby guacamole" and added cumin, his first spice :)

Will has been to the doctor at least once a month since he's been born! (did not have to go in July.) By Monday we realized why he'd been a little fussy all weekend - it wasn't from trying new foods, it was because he had another double ear infection! Ryan took him to the doctor and Will is on antibiotics again and goes back at the end of the month for his well baby check-up.
By the way, he's 23 pounds!
