OK. So we got the go ahead to start solid foods last week. Since Alex is always up for eating, I thought he would be thrilled to try some solids. Nick has really not seemed so interested, but I thought, what the heck, we may as well try.
9/22 Alex looks like he is ready to eat
Here's a picture of the boys wearing the outfits that I thought we'd take them home from the hospital in. It doesn't translate well in the picture, but at 4 months old, the boys are still too small to wear these outfits. Perhaps starting solids will help them grow even faster?
Here's Nicholas showing off his bottle skills when he and Daddy were home together.

Here's Nicholas showing off his bottle skills when he and Daddy were home together. Well, we tried some cereal on Alex and he was not too thrilled. He will open his mouth for the spoon, but once the cereal hits his tongue he makes a sour face and spits it all right back out.
The same thing happened here with Nana trying to feed him bananas. He opens, tastes, and spits it out.
Nicholas, however, doesn't only look good with a spoon.
He likes it best when that spoon is filled with cereal. Basically from the very first bite, Nick has been a big fan of the solid foods. He's so funny. He'll start to shake his little arms and hands if you don't bring the spoonfuls quickly enough. As you can see, he already likes to try to do some of the feeding stuff on his own.
9/27 Alex today. Again, we tried the cereal, again he spit it right out. But, he did have fun playing with the spoon.

Nicholas and Alexander
Alex has been really trying to stand up a lot! Of course, he's nowhere near ready for this, but he loves to stand up and support a little of his own weight when we hold him. His trunk control and head/neck control are on the money!
