Calvin has started the road to real food, beginning with rice cereal. It was a little shaky at first. There was a little gagging and face making, but now he's thoroughly enjoying his rice cereal. We mix it with breast milk and baby apple juice. Right now he eats it just once a day. Soon we will add oatmeal cereal and fruit. I think we'll try bananas, peaches and applesauce or pears to start. Then maybe some veggies, like sweet potatoes and carrots.
A couple weeks ago, we went to the doctor and found out we have a very healthy, but large boy. At 18 lbs 9 oz and 26.5 inches, he is in the 96 percentile for weight and 91 percentile for height. And while he looks like he has a large head, its only in the 79 percentile. However, those numbers make for a big boy. We love our big boy and we are thankful to God that he is healthy.
