Real Food

Three weeks ago, Lucas had his first taste of real chicken and he loved it.  Since then, I've been putting shredded chicken meat on his cereal.  Today, he had fish for the first time and he liked it too!

I was a little nervous about giving him seafood.  Some pediatricians recommend not giving babies seafood, especially shellfish until they're one year old.  But considering that Nathan had fish as early as six months old, I thought it would be ok.  I wasn't sure about how Lucas would like fish.  I was afraid he would not like the smell at all.  On the contrary, he really did like it and he ate more than he normally would.

Now it's getting harder to feed him with something from the jar.  He seems to dislike baby food now that he's had real food!  On the flip side, he will now get to taste mommy's cooking and I hope he will enjoy his meals as much as I will certainly enjoy preparing them.
