Alot of fellow Mommy's ask me what was Jaiden's first Solid Foods? So I decided to blog what foods he has had and what the time frame I introduced it to him. Here we gooooo...
5 months: Rice Cereal - Once daily
5 1/2 months: switched from Rice Cereal (constipapted baby) Oatmeal (that helped) - once daily
6 months: Carrots/Oatmeal/Yams/Peas/Prunes - any one of these meals once daily
7 months: Oatmeal in the morning then either Carrots/Yams/Peas/Prunes for dinner
Now that he is a sitter I also started Banana Mango/Applesauce(got him too hyper)/Veggie Garden mix.
I also introduced him grapes in the Sassy Teething Feeder - Love it, Jaiden loves it too.
Now that he is 8 months: I will add once more meal to his menu. My plan is:
Morning - Oatmeal
Lunch - Fruit Dish
Dinner - Vegetable Dish
We still give him either breastmilk/formula four or five times a day.
Also I forgot to mention, Jaiden's doctor gave the ok for water, only four ounces per day and we could use arrowhead drinking bottle water. I keep a baby bottle of four ounces of water with me, in case he gets thirsty, plus the summer is coming so it's good to keep water handy.

Happy Father's Day
It has been so long since I have written, man life really does happen. Jaiden's sleeping, gives me a chance to write a paragraph or two.....On May 23th, I saw a bit of white in his mouth...TEETH!!!!!
Great my breastfeeding days are slowly coming to an end, actually I decided just recently that it is best that I stop, not only because he gets so distracted while eating but because in the last couple of days, he started biting..owwww...sorry about the TMI, but seriously, it hurts. Mr. Husband keeps cheering him on. Let's see if he gets a nice Father's day gift this year.
Anyway, breastfeeding is great and all and I defiantly recommend to all new mommy's, it's great to give your baby all the immunities from it, however breast milk disappointed me last week: he got sick. Mr. Jaiden felt ill during the last game of the Laker/Celtic 2010 match, poor guy was out of it. We got home from our almost daily outing and he felt warm and just not himself. I was shocked, I thought breast milk was a healing or a fountain of youth. Oh the shock and disappointment.
After my dramatic let down, I realized that Mr. Jaiden will get sick, every kid does, he would not be a kid if he didn't right? So just to be on the safe side. I made an appointment with the doctor that Friday and went in, she checked him, stating that he had a virus and the fever should go away by Monday. Fortunately, it must have been a 24 hour fever, Saturday morning came around and he was perfectly fine, playing, putting things in his mouth and being my little monkey that he his :-) ahhh the new adventure of parenting.
Gotta give props to Mr. Husband, he took care of baby while I was weak with sadness for the little one, yea I am no super Mom, but thank god I have a Super Dad - Happy Father's Day!!!!
