We just started Justin on real baby food besides rice cereal. So far, we've tried Peas and Sweet Potatoes. At first he ate the peas but wasn't thrilled, then after several bites he started gagging and spitting it out. He now gags and spits out the peas anytime I try to feed it to him. So, we'll have to try peas again in a few weeks and see if he likes it then. Then, we tried sweet potatoes, hoping he would like it more. He does. He loves the sweet potatoes! He'll lean far forward in his highchair with mouth wide open begging for some more. Then I thought I'd get clever and sneak some peas in with the sweet potatoes. As long as there are very little peas on a spoon with lots of sweet potatoes he'll eat it, but not peas by itself.
On a different note, Justin got his 2nd tooth two weeks ago. This one came in much quicker and much easier. There was alot less fussing going on. It actually snuck in; one day I thought I saw the 1st tooth out more so I went to check and it was actually the 2nd tooth partially in.
Justin has started getting more adventurous lately and is trying to stand up by himself. He's pulling himself up on the couch, activity table, toy baskets, people, etc. Today he even tried to pull himself on the bathtub handle. He can stand up for quite a bit while holding on to something but cannot move more than a step or so without falling over. Here's some videos we'd like to share with you of Justin lately:
