That’s my baby in the baby aisle. There’s so much stimulation at the grocery store that this little guy fell asleep as soon as we got into the car. A riot of color for him!

He’s six months old and has started eating solid food this month. I feed him lots of different things including the traditional stuff like rice cereal and jarred peas, carrots, and sweet potato and then fresh food including bananas, avocado, apple, and melon. I swore I would make all my food this time around, but I was worried about the super chunky texture of my homemade food for his first experience. He’s got to navigate all this new stuff eating from a spoon, a different taste, and a different temperature — I figured I’ve give him a smooth texture. We’ll get there this summer.
