Here’s Liam having his first taste of something other than milk:
Liam
We thought that we’d try Liam initially on baby rice, but he wasn’t too keen on that. And who can blame him? It’s absolutely tasteless.
Anyway, we’ve moved off the baby rice to trying him on rusks. He likes these. At the moment we’re only giving him a small amount once a day, just to get his body used to having some solids. He seems to be coping with it without any problems.
The next thing will be fruit and vegetable purees, so I’ll need to do some cooking and make some stocks up to freeze.
Its hard to believe that it is 3 months since Liam was born.
Gemma had him weighed last week, and he is doing really well. He now tips the scales at 14lb (a whole stone!). I’m sure it won’t be too long before we’re thinking about weaning him.
In fact, Gemma had the weaning “lecture” from the health visitor yesterday. Don’t give him this or that before six months…. Blah! Blah! Ellie was on solids at about 4 months and she’s not had any ill effects.
Just in the last week or so he seems to have found his thumb, and it is more and more common to see it stuck in his mouth. He has also developed the most incredible cheeky smile!
Liam is also making the first efforts for crawling. When he is put on to his front, he is lifting his head and pushing himself along on his belly with his feet. He’s not moving very far yet, but it is a start. Before long he’ll be in the cupboards and getting hold of everything.
