Well Nathan has had his first taste of “real” food this week. We started with squash. It was a tough decision figuring out what will be his first step on a life-long relationship with food, but at the end of the day we really only had three choices (according to the experts and our doctor): squash, sweet potatoes, and carrots. We felt squash was the most seasonally appropriate so that’s what we did.

He seemed to be hesitant with his first encounter but he ate it. The second time we tried he made a face that said “What the heck are you putting into my mouth?” but after a couple of spoonfulls he was eating it like an old pro.
