Mango, mango! We bought mangoes this week and I pureed them tonight. I used some of them to make smoothies with bananas and orange juice for Chuck and I for breakfast tomorrow morning; the rest, I made for Nicky. He got his first taste after dinner, and he really seemed to like them! Here’s a recap of what Nicky’s tried so far:
- rice, oat and barley cereals
- sweet potatoes
- bananas
- butternut squash
- pears
- prunes (the only food he hasn’t gone nuts for)
- and now mangoes!
I’ve already made applesauce and peas for him, but he hasn’t tried them yet; hopefully next week we’ll get there. I’ve been using this chart and website as a guide to Nicky’s first foods; avocados and green beans will be coming up soon before we move along to the six- to eight-month-old foods.
On another note, Nicky has started to pull himself up into a standing position and uses anything he can to help himself. He seems to like the DVD storage case the best because it’s at the perfect level for him. It has clips to close it, thank goodness, or our DVDs would be everywhere, I’m sure!
Still working out the kinks in our sleeping routine…off to catch some zzz’s before it’s time to get up!
